PCB Designing
Modern PCB layout tools must fulfill a number of functions. They must be able to cope with complex tasks in miniature, whilst being fast and accurate in use. They must have easily downloadable software, be straightforward and be able to cope with a complex variety of tasks. PCB design tools are typical of the software used by design companies today. They vary from low-cost tools suitable for individual PCB designers and small layout teams, to Allegro – one of the most popular systems in use today, with a range of options for designing integrated circuits, PCB’s and packages.
Allegro PCB Design is user friendly; it contains everything the engineer needs to create complex printed circuit boards – from initial concepts onwards. It offers a smooth, integrated design flow which design creation and layout; interactive routing; editing capabilities and library creation. It also features manufacturing and mechanical CAD interfaces, allowing seamless integration of one area of a project into the next. The design partitioning makes it suitable for large, widely dispersed teams of engineers. Modern designers are looking for solutions that allow them to build dense, complex printed circuit boards with high-speed interfaces and advanced configurations. Intelligent, automated planning and routing is a big plus. The Allegro is both intuitive and consistent, which is why it is so popular with design services. Push-shove editing, optional global route environment technology, interactive component placement and constraint-driven design flow management are just some of the features it incorporates. The design partition makes it appropriate for big, widely discrete teams of engineers.
