Product Demo:PADS ES Suite Interactive Routing

Tue, 07 May 2013 14:32:00 GMT

Learn why the PADS ES Suite is a natural choice for those using advanced automation like tuning or dynamically updating dialogs.

Try it with the PADS ES Virtual Lab: http://www.mentor.com/products/product-eval/pads-es-virtual-lab?cmpid=8046.

PADS ES Suite utilizes advanced push and shove technology to help improve efficiency during interactive routing. The technology may be applied to newly added traces or existing ones. Design constraints help maintain the proper clearances on items as they are manipulated within the software - whether passed from the schematic or entered in from within the PCB layout. Quick route automatically converts interconnects to traces while the user guides the traces to the desired locations; users can rely on the assistance of the software when adding segments and corners. When coupled with advanced features like adding accordions or trace tuning, the combination helps reduce trace tweaks s they are necessary in the design. Differential pair routing is seamless with the PADS ES Suite, maintaining present gap constraints when interactively routing. Trace widths associated with differential pairs are also maintained. For designs using advanced technology, adding virtual vias and advanced sub pin pair length rules could not be easier. Strategically accessible property dialogs allow quick access to constraint definition making design rule definition a snap.

On-demand Web Seminar:Managing DFM Validation for PCB Assembly and Test Processes

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:26:24 GMT

Managing DFM Validation for PCB Assembly and Test Processes Design for Assembly and Test is an essential stage in the NPI process. Using Valor NPI to perform DFM analysis during the design flow eliminates costly and time consuming problems experienced during PCB assembly and test. Using DFM rules based on the manufacturer capabilities and process constraints forms part of the Lean NPI process model.
