Allegro PCB DesignerAdd RF Shape-based Trace for RF/Analogrouting Basic RF trace editing capabilitiesadded with Bend type and Widthtransition modes Enables PCB Designers to add RF /Analog traces easily For copper-based RF elementscustomers need to move up toAllegro PCB Analog / RF OptionBend Type: Mitered, Square, CurveWidth Transition Mode: None, Rounded, TaperMovie10 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
Allegro PCBHigh Speed OptionIn-design Route Optimization Traditional tools require designers to optimize routes afterdesign is completed manually– Many mouse clicks, constraint changes, much manual review Optimize route provides in-design optimization for routes– Save time with correct by construction approachMovieRoutes not Optimized11 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Routes Optimized
Allegro PCBHigh Speed OptionBundle Layer ControlCurrent Users can now assign desired routing layer toindividual rats on bundles without the need to splitbundle Rat Layer Control – new mechanism for assigningrouting layers in AiBT and Auto ConnectNeed to split bundle for explicitlayer assignment17.2QIR1Invoke Rat Layer Control Edit12 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Select rats and assign layerExplicit user control on routing layer
Allegro PCBHigh Speed OptionTab-aware Interactive Editing Enhanced Etch Editing commands that intelligently keep orremove existing tabs on clines/cline segments Copy with “snap to”functions Delete andSlide/Replace Etch13 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Current17.2QIR1
Allegro PCBHigh Speed OptionVia Structure Cline During Via Structure Create, there is a new option to cutclines and only include cline/segments inside rectangledrawn With the new Cline Cutter, users will no longer need todisconnect/manipulate clines so that it only includes desiredportion of cline for easy re-use in designUser draws rectangle14 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Clines are cutMovie
Allegro PCB DesignerOptionProductivity Toolbox PCB design compare– New toolbox application which compares two databases andidentifies the differences between them– HTML report Mode One: Standard Compare (Default Mode)––––––Modification of stackup (cross section)Netlist and connectivity, pin connectivity modificationsProperty changes, renamed componentsTestpoint modificationsDevice type modification (ECO part)Placement modifications Mode Two: Graphical compare– Based on IPC2581 all or individual layerscan be compared.– Differences will be highlightedand DRC markers can be generated.15 2016 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
