Description
DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work.
The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately.
High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD.
Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts.
Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS.
DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.
Description
This tool seamlessly merges precision and efficiency within a comprehensive design framework, achieving simulation speeds that are 10-50 times quicker than SPICE for power supply designs. It encompasses all functionalities of SIMetrix Classic while maintaining the same graphical user interface, which includes a hierarchical schematic editor and a waveform viewer. It quickly identifies the steady state operating point of a switching system, eliminating the need to simulate initial transient conditions. Furthermore, it facilitates the conversion of SPICE transistor and diode models into SIMPLIS format by executing a SPICE simulation for parameter extraction. The advanced digital simulation library boasts a diverse array of digital functions, including counters, ADCs, DACs, and much more, ensuring that designers have the tools they need at their fingertips. This integration of features makes it an invaluable asset for anyone involved in power supply design and simulation.
