Hi brothers (and sisters) out there!!
I'm new to both P-Cad and Altium Design Explorer. I'm currently considering learning one to design PCBs for embedded applications. P-Cad to me is more popular but it seems it lacks templates (eg. processors, ICs and other components)
like ,say, Proteus. I guess Altium Design Explorer has those features (embedded processors, FPGAs and other ICs) for interfacing with other components of the design (PCB). Since I'll be using ARM MCUs it will be nice to be able to work with the in the design. How good is Altium Explorer in this regard?
How is it compared with P-Cad?
Are there better tools out there which can simulate ARM MCUs and design PCBs?
Your input would be very much appreciated. Thank you all!!!
