System interconnect design platform adds new capabilities at all stages of printed-circuit board design.

Cadence Design Systems has added product and technology enhancements to the Cadence Allegro system interconnect design platform for printed-circuit board (PCB) design The enhanced platform, which includes Global Route Environment technology, establishes a unique paradigm for PCB designers, offering significant new capabilities for constraint-driven design, as well as new technology and enhancements to improve usability, productivity and collaboration among design teams in the IC, package and board domains

"As supply voltages go down and current needs increase, package and IC characteristics must be considered while designing Power Delivery Networks on PCB systems", says Xiangzhong Jiang, SI Manager at Huawei Technologies.

"With the enhancements in Allegro PCB PI technology, we are able to plug in package models, on-die current profile, and die capacitance - improving our accuracy without sacrificing simulation performance".
