New Cadence Allegro Platform Accelerates Design of Compact, High-Performance Products Using Flex and Rigid-Flex Technologies

Unique and comprehensive real-time DRCs for flex technology and dynamic concurrent team design accelerate product creation

The Cadence Allegro^® 17.2-2016 portfolio enables a more predictable and shorter design cycle. The portfolio features comprehensive in-design inter-layer checking technology that minimizes design-check-redesign iterations and a new dynamic concurrent team design capability that accelerates product creation time by up to 50 percent. Utilizing material inlay fabrication techniques, these new capabilities can reduce material costs by up to 25 percent. In addition, embedded Sigrity^TM technology now ensures critical signals meet performance criteria and power integrity (PI) for PCB designers addressing power delivery and IR-drop issues efficiently, eliminating time-consuming iterations with PI experts.

The Allegro portfolio includes key advancements that minimize design iterations and lower overall cost for flex and rigid-flex designs commonly used in automotive, consumer electronics, computing, communications, mobile and wearable applications.

It also now provides synchronous team design capability, which can shorten design time by up to 50 percent for dense designs and increase efficiency by enabling the team to design synchronously.
