Allegro PCB High-Speed Option

High-Speed Design increasing use of standards-based advanced interfaces such as DDR3, DDR4, PCI Express, USB 3.0 are bringing a set of constraints that must be adhered to while implementing a PCB.

Allegro PCB Designer through its High-Speed Option makes adhering to constraints on advanced interfaces quick and easy. It offers an extensive range of electrical rules to ensure that the PCB design implementation is complaint with the specification for advanced interfaces. Additionally, it allows users to extend the rules through the use of formulas with existing rules or post-route data such as actual trace lengths.

Highlights:

  • Constraint Manager: Electrical rule set (relection, timing, crosstalk)
  • Constraint-driven flow using electrical rules
  • Electrical constraint rule set (ECSets) / topology apply
  • Formula and relationship based (advanced) constraints
  • Backdrilling
  • Die2Die pin delay, dynamic phase control, Z-axis delay
  • Return path management for critical signals
