PCB Layout & Routing

PCBs grow increasingly complex and challenging to design with each technological advance in the electronics industry. Add globally dispersed design and manufacturing teams to the mix, and the collaboration hurdles make the project difficult at best. Mentor delivers a new standard in scalable tools for the layout, analysis, and manufacture of highly-complex PCBs.

  • Advanced packaging with embedded passives and HDI
  • Concurrent design using multiple designers and sites

  • ECAD/MCAD collaboration
  • Topology planning and routing
  • RF/Analog/Digital co-design
  • Automation for custom scripting

PCB Layout and Routing Tools

  • Automation Automation scripts allow users to quickly and easily extend the functionality of their basic Mentor tools which significantly improves their productivity and reliability by providing consistent and repeatable processes.
  • ECAD/MCAD Collaboration A tightly integrated RF design solution that enables PCB designers of mixed disciplines (RF, analog and digital) to concurrently design a PCB.
  • Expedition PCB Expedition PCB's revolutionary printed circuit board layout software tools combine automatic routing and interactive design into a single PCB editing environment. Routing tasks can be completed interactively or automatically, while always adhering to the same set of design rules.
  • Flex Technology Automation scripts allow users to quickly and easily extend the functionality of their basic Mentor tools which significantly improves their productivity and reliability by providing consistent and repeatable processes.
  • RF Design Mentor Graphics' RF PCB Layout solution facilitates the integration of RF and PCB design. Expedition Enterprise and Board Station are designed to understand RF and solve many of the current challenges in RF PCB layout.
  • Topology Planning & Routing To combine the knowledge of an engineer, the skill of a board designer and the power of an autorouter, Mentor Graphics has developed a powerful topology planning and routing technology.
  • Xtreme Design Xtreme design technology, patented by Mentor Graphics, enables multiple design clients, connected on a LAN or WAN network, to simultaneously edit and update a common PCB layout database in real time.
