Constraint Editor System

Product Highlights

  • Enables a fully integrated, constraint-driven design flow
  • Provides identical constraint editing from design entry through PCB layout

Benefits

  • 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 Expedition PCB
  • Rules preservation throughout the flow on net renames, connectivity additions/removals, pin and/or gate swaps and stackup changes
  • 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
    • Stackup Editor with impedance planning features
