I/O Designer

  • Provides bi-directional integration, data management and the ability to perform concurrent design of your FPGA and PCB
  • Focused on optimizing system performance, designer productivity and reducing product manufacturing costs
  • Eliminates the barriers between FPGA and PCB flows and design organizations
  • Utilizes corporate library integration by using existing symbols and submitting generated symbols back into the library
  • Provides automatic unraveling of rats nests and intelligent differential pair swapping

Benefits

  • Reduces PCB Manufacturing costs by eliminating PCB signal layers
  • Makes achieving high-speed constraints possible
  • Reduces the total product design cycle time by changing a serial process into a concurrent process
  • Eliminates PCB re-spins due to bad FPGA symbols on the PCB
  • Eliminates costs associated with creating and maintaining the FPGA symbol(s) for the PCB schematic
