Xpedition for PCB design and collaboration
Connect schematic capture, PCB layout, design constraints, component libraries, and collaboration through the design-to-manufacturing workflow.
What is Xpedition?
Xpedition is Siemens’ electronic systems and PCB design software family. The configuration depends on team size, board complexity, and data-management needs. A workflow may include schematics, PCB layout, electrical constraints, design reviews, and collaboration with DFM specialists.
Capabilities to consider
Schematics and PCB layout
Maintain electrical connectivity from circuit definition to the physical board design.
Constraint-driven design
Manage trace length, spacing, and other electrical and physical rules within the design flow.
Collaboration and data
Use controlled libraries and design data to manage revisions, changes, reviews, and release.
How do Xpedition and Valor work together?
Xpedition focuses on PCB design. Valor supports manufacturability analysis, DFM checks, and production-data preparation. Together they support the handoff between design and manufacturing.
