Constraint Editor System

Product Highlights

Enables a fully integrated, constraint-driven design flow
Provides identical constraint editing from design entry through PCB layout
Supplies electrical and physical constraints in a single database and application
Provides easy to use functions for finding invalid model assignments, model overrides or mismatches between device and model information

Helps reduce costs and accelerate time to market by eliminating unnecessary PCB prototypes and re-spins due to miscommunications
Handles current and future design requirements by giving direct control over the most advanced routing technology in Board Station XE
Rules preservation throughout the flow on net renames, connectivity additions/removals, pin and/or gate swaps and stackup changes
Supports definition and verification of electrical constraints within one environment, simplifying a complex constraint entry process and improving the accuracy of the design
Easy to use, spreadsheet-based application with numerous productivity enhancements
- Hierarchical Rule Classes and constraint value propagation
- Constraint Templates for applying complex rules across a bus
- Differential Pair Creation through wildcard matching
