The .sch file extension is used to indicate a circuit schematic file by various electronic design automation programs, all using different file formats. These types of files are used by: OrCAD (old versions) EAGLE (all versions) [1] Protel (old versions) Altium (some versions) KiCad (old versions) PADS (all versions) gschem of gEDA suite
The PCB layout editor stores board files with the extension .BRD. It allows back-annotation to the schematic and auto-routing to automatically connect traces based on the connections defined in the schematic. EAGLE saves Gerber and PostScript layout files as well as Excellon and Sieb & Meyer drill files.
A semi-schematic diagram combines some of the abstraction of a purely schematic diagram with other elements displayed as realistically as possible, for various reasons. It is a compromise between a purely abstract diagram (e.g. the schematic of the Washington Metro) and an exclusively realistic representation (e.g. the corresponding aerial view of Washington).
A schematic editor is a tool for schematic capture of electrical circuits or electronic circuits.. Schematic editors replaced manual drawing of schematic diagrams, but they still retain the capability of outputting schematics on specially formatted sheets.
The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not. The latter requires a separate program to provide that feature, such as Qucs-S, [1] Oregano, [2] or a schematic design application that supports external simulators, such as KiCad or gEDA.
DipTrace is a proprietary software suite for electronic design automation (EDA) used for electronic schematic capture and printed circuit board layouts. DipTrace has four applications: schematic editor, PCB editor with built-in shape-based autorouter and 3D preview, component editor (schematic symbol), and pattern editor (PCB footprint).
IP-XACT, also known as IEEE 1685, [1] is an XML format that defines and describes individual, re-usable electronic circuit designs (individual pieces of intellectual property, or IPs) to facilitate their use in creating integrated circuits (i.e. microchips).
KiCad schematic editor for schematic capture KiCad PCB editor for board layout and design KiCad 3D viewer showing both VRML and IDF features on a demo board KiCad 3D viewer. KiCad uses an integrated environment for all of the stages of the design process: Schematic capture, PCB layout, Gerber file generation/visualization, and library editing.
