Allegro PCB Editor

It provides advanced productivity features such as reuse of previous schematic designs as blocks or sheets—partially or completely. Oriented around team-based development, Allegro Design Authoring allows schematic designers and layout engineers to work in parallel. Users can capture physical and electrical constraints and assign design rules with the embedded Allegro Constraint Manager. The industry’s first PCB design and verification flow to achieve “Fit for Purpose - Tool Confidence Level 1 (TCL1)” certification enables you to meet stringent ISO 26262 automotive safety requirements. The flow includes everything from design authoring to simulation to physical realization and verification using the PSpice®, Allegro, and OrCAD® product suites. The high-performance design entry, simulation, and layout editing tools provide an integrated environment for design engineers to validate the safety specifications against individual circuit specifications for design confidence.

Easy-to-use and powerful, Cadence® Allegro® Design Entry Capture and Capture component information system (CIS) is the most widely used schematic design solution, supporting both flat and hierarchical designs from the simplest to the most complex. Seamless bi-directional integration with Allegro PCB enables data synchronization and cross-probing/placing between the schematic and the board design. Allegro Design Entry Capture and Capture CIS allows designers to back-annotate layout changes, make gate/pin swaps, and change component names or values from board design to schematic using the feedback process. It also comes with a large library of schematic symbols and can export netlists in a wide variety of formats. Allegro Design Entry Capture and Capture CIS integrates the schematic design application with the added capabilities of a CIS.

Provides content control—users choose what gets published. Allows sharing of designs with anyone who has a PDF reader.

With its core Cadence PSpice technology, the Allegro PSpice System Designer provides fast and accurate simulations. This advanced analysis package includes utilities for sensitivity analysis, goal-based multi-parameter optimization, component stress and reliability analysis, and Monte Carlo analysis for yield estimation. The parametric plotter analyzes interdependence among parameters and converts simulation data into meaningful results. When combined with Allegro Design Entry HDL, the schematics drawn in Allegro PSpice System Designer can also drive PCB layout, significantly reducing design time and eliminating redrawing errors. It includes a large library of known models and behavioral modeling techniques that make refining the analog/digital interface a straightforward task. Fast, accurate analysis of analog and mixed-signal designs. PSpice technology at the core for fast and accurate simulations.
