1 DATASHEET PCB LIBRARIAN EXPERT INTERNET-DRIVEN LIBRARY PART CREATION AND MANAGEMENT Companies invest a large amount of time and energy managing library data, yet it still remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in the design process. At some point in every PCB design, the physical parts selected must be interpreted accurately as library data i.e., logical symbols, PCB footprints, simulation models, and detailed parametric attributes. Real-time access to complete, consistent, informative CAD library data is one of the greatest challenges for most companies trying to streamline a design processes.

PCB Librarian Expert reduces these pressures on the library creation process, helping librarians cope with the demands created by a company s engineering teams. KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN PART DEVELOPMENT The ability of PCB Librarian Expert to automatically leverage component information published on the Internet drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to develop a part. Adherence to your library standards during part development ensures correct, consistent, and informative CAD libraries. Development of CAD libraries accelerated by leveraging original Internet-derived source datasheet Increases overall library accuracy by reducing the amount of manual re-entry of data which is susceptible to human error Consolidates all the information, best practices and tools needed to generate CAD Libraries into one complete process

2 By harnessing the power of PCB Librarian Expert, librarians around the world can generate accurate library parts quickly for use with Cadence Concept HDL schematic entry and Cadence Allegro PCB layout software. Enables librarians to efficiently develop and maintain consistent libraries using XML data-driven symbol generation technology Reduces symbol creation time by automatically interpreting Internet-derived pin and package data, eliminating time consuming data re-entry Ensures current and quality reference data from part manufacturers by leveraging the timeliness of the Internet CORRECT BY SPECIFICATION Library development that adheres to consistent, comprehensive, and proven library or industry specifications: Ensures integrity Maintains consistency Increases productivity All companies strive to attain these goals by promoting consistent and correct library content. However, most library specifications are manually applied to the library creation process, making it difficult to realize these goals. With PCB Librarian Expert you can change your library specification easily from a manual post-process to an automated and consistent applied pre-process. Promotes standardized reusable library content by automatically applying corporate or industry specifications during the creation of the library elements Imposes standards reflecting your company s library creation specifications Ensures integrity across all library elements by enforcing consistent formatting Embeds specifications, reducing the learning curve and increasing the contribution of new employees CONCEPT HDL SYMBOL CREATION Concept HDL parts are automatically generated from the Internet-derived source datasheet information. Schematic symbols, physical part tables, bill-of-material parameters, and logical pin to physical pin associations are easily automated, freeing librarians to put the finishing touches on each view to assure a quality result. Symbol wizards step you efficiently through the creation process. Accelerates the time required to derive schematic symbol representations by using XML data-driven symbol creation Allows automatic formatting of logical pin and package information to library specifications Minimizes project delays by rapidly creating schematic symbols, physical pin data, and part table data Ensures success during logical design when using Verilog or VHDL-based simulators by auto creating the simulation wrappers and pin mappings Speeds symbol creation with userdefinable template and form-driven interface Defines pins quickly by using pin form definitions with handling of pin ranges ALLEGRO PADSTACK AND FOOTPRINT CREATION The physical portion is dedicated to increased productivity in the generation of your Allegro PCB footprints, padstacks, board/mcm outlines, and the preparation of detailed dimension drawings in accordance with your manufacturing technology requirements. It is specifically designed to handle the ever-increasing pin counts and package complexity of components found in today s designs. Automatic generation of complex devices with high pin counts such as BGAs and PGAs with wizards that efficiently step through the process Define, review, and edit multi-layer padstacks, in a single interface, without having to generate test designs or decipher textual reports Centralized parameters enabling a single visual feedback of cross-section and top view helps provide consistent and comprehensive padstacks Optimization to suit the soldering type (wave, reflow) and assembly consideration, such as parts mounted on one or both sides of the board Fully integrated 2-D drafting and dimensioning Design constraints, such as drawing details, cross sections, and other manufacturing output parameters, are quickly defined Allegro Librarian Padstack Editor provides visual confirmation and efficient form editing. 2

3 PART VALIDATION Using the part validation system in PCB Librarian Expert, you can flush parts through an advanced rule checking and advisement system prior to release. This checking reduces costly design iterations by detecting a broad range of errors before they ever reach the design-in stage. Fast, efficient, and takes little effort to deploy Limits the amount of manual intervention Quickly catches errors and prevents costly rework PCB Librarian Expert allows you to write and compile programmatic and systematic custom rules Ensures parts are consistent and error free using built-in error checking Guarantees that librarians always validate using the same guidelines Checks for incorrect constraints by discovering errors up front before library elements are released for general distribution Highlights errors with markers user controllable parameters Verifies data flow through tools, assuring information is passed correctly from schematic to layout, schematic to simulation, part package, and back annotation information Ensures availability and validity of all required model views using process testing Process testing ensures the availability and validity of all required library parts. LIBRARY MANAGEMENT PCB Librarian Expert features a built-in control of library data preventing unmanaged or unauthorized changes, which allows revisions to be effectively managed. A central master library with consistent and comprehensive library data frees your engineers to focus on what they do best: creating nextgeneration products in a fast, error-free flow. Delivers controlled work-in-progress access to library data for creation and modification of individual library elements Eliminates library errors caused by colliding efforts Provides security of release libraries and access for all users Brings schematic logical representations, physical footprints, mechanical board outlines, simulation, and modeling information under centralized control Delivers the right library information to the fingertips of every engineer throughout your organization Ensures data integrity and reuse of library elements PROJECT AND FLOW MANAGEMENT Librarians face ever-increasing pressure to find new ways to maximize their productivity when trying to meet growing design engineer demands. Many companies attempt to incorporate productivity gains through flows and methodologies, but in reality, these efforts are in written document form which rarely get opened, updated, or used. New employees learn the existing procedures from their peers and teach this same information to their replacements. These are ineffective and costly training methods completely counter to best practices or maximizing productivity from librarians. By using Project Manager, you can better manage your library process creation. Plus, you can customize your 3 flows and tailor them to unique aspects of your business model, resulting in your ability to: Streamline the library development process by utilizing procedural steps captured in a graphical user interface Decrease the cost of your library creation through the automated deployment of your best practice Speed up your library process, and as a result, deliver faster service to your engineers Project Manager provides easy access to the library development and validation process. VENDOR INDEPENDENCE Due to acquisitions and industry consolidations, the proliferation of vastly different vendor CAD tools throughout an organization is a reality most corporate librarians and Cadence Design Systems must face. To assist in the process of supporting these third party tools, PCB Librarian Expert has the ability to export to an XML-based Universal Data Format. Using this open format, any library creation process can be jump started using pre-defined pin and package data. Improves library consistency and reusability for all vendor tool processes by using a common data source for library creation Leveraging this open standard reduces duplication of effort and improves productivity
