System Design

Mentor Graphics’ System Design tools provide the most integrated process for capturing, verifying, and communicating design intent through the entire design flow. By capturing schematics, integrating ICs onto your PCB, and capturing and communicating electrical and physical rules to design teams and flow tools, Mentor’s system design tools can increase your design productivity and quality.

Benefits

• Define your design intent in graphics or text
• Re-use design components for added productivity and quality
• Reduce design cycles, and improve performance and manufacturing results with FPGA integration
• Design boards with mixed technology (RF, analog, digital)
• Manage electrical and physical constraints from a single environment
• Communicate changes through integrated layout and routing
• Manage libraries and data with integration to the enterprise

Technology Leadership

• Constraint Editor System
  
  Manages electrical and physical constraints from a common environment.
• I/O Designer
  
  Plans FPGA pin-outs to optimize the integration of an FPGA design with a board layout.
• RF Design
  
  Provides a tightly integrated RF design solution that enables PCB designers of mixed disciplines (RF, analog and digital) to design a PCB concurrently and efficiently.
