Filed under: PCB Layout and routing, PCB design, SPB, Allegro PCB Editor, Constraint Manager, via, PCB Editor, PCB, SPB 16.3, Allegro 16.3, \”PCB design\”, SPB16.3 Current design technologies require extremely tight matching requirements right down to the overall net topologies to ensure that any deviations in propagation delays are minimized. As a result, design guidelines call for matching the number of vias for a group of signals. The prior releases of Constraint Manager support a \”MAX_VIA_COUNT\” constraint which does not meet the needs of these new design requirements. The SPB16.3 Allegro PCB Editor constraint system now supports a method to check for an equal number of vias in addition to a \”maximum\” number of vias on a group of nets...

Calibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre\’s innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues. To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC\’s equation-based DRC (eqDRC) capability enables designers...
FloTHERM enables engineers to create virtual models of electronic equipment, perform thermal analysis, and test design modifications quickly and easily before any physical prototypes are built.

CoWare announced the 2010.1 release of CoWare SPW products. The SPW 2010.1 release advances the LTE (Long Term Evolution) Wireless Reference Library and adds a complete Xilinx implementation flow that includes direct source translation technology from C Data Flow (CDF) into RTL. The CoWare SPW 2010.1 release is available immediately. With this release, CoWare has reverted back to the product’s original SPW name (previously Signal Processing Designer, SPD). The new Xilinx flow combines SPW hardware implementation technology for RTL generation with Xilinx’s highly-optimized IP components from its ISE flow into one, easy-to-use flow. SPW 2010.1 now also offers direct source translation technology which takes CDF models and translates them to RTL. Using the polymorphism in SPW, this technology allows the...
