1 Cadence PCB Editors QIR1 Update Jim Frey, Hemant Shah Chelmsford September 9, 2016

2 Cadence PCB Editor 17.2 QIR1 improvements Interactive 3D canvas Concurrent Team Design improvements Chip on Board RF Trace Route Optimization Ease of Use Improvements 2

3 Customers spend most of their time in PCB design Small percentage spent on 3D interference % time spent on designing medium to high complexity PCBs* 80% 20% 80%* time spent on layout of a rigid-flex design 20%* time spent on ECAD-MCAD co-design Placement Routing Mfg Prep 3D 3

4 3D PCB design with Cadence PCB QIR1 Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Foundation for true 3D PCB design in future releases Major infrastructure work to include 3D engine inside PCB Editor Capabilities 1. Improved native 3D visualization with visibility control Higher degree of accuracy and clarity 2. Collision detection 3. Cross probing between 2D and 3D windows 4. Select nets or connectivity elements Eliminates unnecessary ECAD-MCAD iterations 4

5 Interactive 3D Canvas Layer & Symbol Visibility Controls Etch layers visibility Lines, Pins, Shapes & Vias Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Symbol visibility control Top / Bottom / Embedded Bottom Layer Enabled top side components 5

6 3D canvas - 3D Collision detection Eliminate unnecessary ECAD/MCAD iterations Component to component Component to enclosure Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Future (Post QIR2) Copper to enclosure Collision with bending Move components in 3D MOVIE 6

7 Bend Editor for Flex PCB Designs Eliminate unnecessary ECAD/MCAD iterations User defines a bend line that represents the center of a bend area Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Visually displays the extents of the bend Optionally add Via Keepout and Package Keepout geometries based on the bend area s outline geometry Actual bending visualization and collision detection is part of the 3D Canvas roadmap Phase 1 - Foundation work for bending 7

8 Allegro PCB Symphony Team Design Option Beyond 17.2 direction Allegro PCB Symphony Team Design Option Shapes Placement Constraints Permissions Review & markup Focus for release Routing Routing Reduce PCB design time by more than 50% 8

9 Chip on board with Allegro PCB Designer Wire bonding in PCB designs Allegro PCB Designer For small RF / Analog dies on board Limited to 100 wire bonds on a component Great for Analog / RF dies on a PCB Limitations Manual wire bond creation No die stacking Single wire profile for top, bottom No support for bonding to paths or rings No push/shove/bubble No bonding through slots in board to bottom of components No non-standard wirebonding No import/export of wirebonds or profiles 9

10 Add RF Shape-based Trace for RF/Analog routing Allegro PCB Designer Basic RF trace editing capabilities added with Bend type and Width transition modes Enables PCB Designers to add RF / Analog traces easily For copper-based RF elements customers need to move up to Allegro PCB Analog / RF Option Bend Type: Mitered, Square, Curve Width Transition Mode: None, Rounded, Taper Movie 10

11 In-design Route Optimization Allegro PCB High Speed Option Traditional tools require designers to optimize routes after design 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 approach Movie Routes not Optimized Routes Optimized 11

12 Bundle Layer Control Allegro PCB High Speed Option Current Users can now assign desired routing layer to individual rats on bundles without the need to split bundle Rat Layer Control new mechanism for assigning routing layers in AiBT and Auto Connect Need to split bundle for explicit layer assignment 17.2 QIR1 Invoke Rat Layer Control > Edit Select rats and assign layer Explicit user control on routing layer 12

13 Tab-aware Interactive Editing Allegro PCB High Speed Option Enhanced Etch Editing commands that intelligently keep or remove existing tabs on clines/cline segments Copy with snap to functions Delete and Slide/Replace Etch Current 17.2 QIR1 13

14 Via Structure Cline Allegro PCB High Speed Option During Via Structure>Create, there is a new option to cut clines and only include cline/segments inside rectangle drawn With the new Cline Cutter, users will no longer need to disconnect/manipulate clines so that it only includes desired portion of cline for easy re-use in design User draws rectangle Clines are cut 14 Movie

15 Productivity Toolbox Allegro PCB Designer Option PCB design compare New toolbox application which compares two databases and identifies the differences between them HTML report Mode One: Standard Compare (Default Mode) Modification of stackup (cross section) Netlist and connectivity, pin connectivity modifications Property changes, renamed components Testpoint modifications Device type modification (ECO part) Placement modifications Mode Two: Graphical compare Based on IPC2581 all or individual layers can be compared. Differences will be highlighted and DRC markers can be generated. 15

16 Ease of Use Improvements 16

17 Shape Application Mode Updates Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Shape application mode was introduced in 16.6 in a QIR Well received by our customers Incremental update based on customer feedback Add Notch support for Any Angle Assign Parameters to Multiple Dynamic Shapes Slide IX/IY support Best Shape application mode in the industry Add Notch 17

18 Productivity Enhancer - Find by Query Based on customer feedback Allegro PCB Designer OrCAD PCB Designer Modernized to provide quick query access to all design elements on the canvas Very intuitive dialog to create, save and recall time saving queries Reuse Queries in additional designs 18
