7 Agenda GUI & toolbox Placement & planning Routing automation Break (15 minutes) 3D design 7
8 GUI & Toolbox Features 8
9 Tool Adoption/Learning Challenges Increasing design complexity drives need to touch more tools Designers can no longer specialize in one tool Need for greater consistency, integration across flow Need design environment that is easy to learn and re-learn Need environment that maximizes individual efficiency Fewer mouse clicks; less screen clutter; more customization Focus on time to productivity 9
10 Easy To Use Design Environment Intuitive user interface Consistent, logical Personalized productivity Layout of toolbars, dialogs; reusable schemes Easy to learn Video tooltips; startup guide Efficient Maximize work area Organize & access design data 10
11 Create & open PCBs Most recent PCBs Help & Tutorials 11
12 Window Docking Controls Users can customize UI for more efficient workspace depending on their tasks: Move windows to desired location on screen Combine windows into a single, tabbed window Automatically collapse window when not in use 12
13 Extended Tooltips Tooltips with animated video demos for ease-of-use Help at the designer s fingertips Long descriptions or (VIDEO) Minimize learning curve No need to open documentation 13
14 Updated Toolbars & Menus Improved graphics & icons Toolbars Grouped by activity Easily add/remove commands Can be saved with scheme New Edit toolbar for six universal commands Menus Reorganized for simplicity Removed unlicensed commands 14
15 Display Control Customizability Favorites Quick access to your most used commands Hide Row Remove less used features to streamline the window Search Bar Find infrequently used controls Sections Expand, collapse, and reorganize for personalized view 15
16 Display Control Enhanced Graphics Global Transparency Dim Mode Individual Trace, Pad, Plane controls per layer Fixed, Semi-Fixed, Locked patterns Net Names on Traces Dynamic Highlight Color by Net: Add Selected Screen Cursors 16
17 Select Mode Place, Route and Draw without entering specialized modes Driven by Global View & Interactive Selection Context sensitive RMB, Action Key, and default commands Unified Copy, Paste, Move, Rotate, Fix, Lock on objects 17
18 Context Sensitive Menus Menu actions will update based on the designer s current selection Grouped by Place, Route and Drawing commands Traces: easily switch layers & width (Minimal, Expansion) 18
19 Selection List Provides a way to view and manage the selected design objects 19
20 Keyin Commands Activates when you start typing Provides list of potential commands Displays syntax and recently used commands Type? or help for documentation 20
21 Planning & Placement 21
22 Placement Challenges With ever increasing design complexity you need to achieve increased productivity during the design planning and placement phase Circuitry with complex topologies requires more in depth planning Efficient communication of engineering intent Organization for the placement of thousands of parts Time to market pressures make reuse a priority! 22
23 Planning & Placement Improve collaboration with engineering Visualize engineering intent Increase designer efficiency Persistent, hierarchical planning groups Easily manage and adjust individual parts or groups User managed netline visualization Organize, protect and reuse circuit groups 23
24 Hierarchical Planning Overview Planning Groups are the heart of the new placement & planning Persistent organization of parts that can be used in all phases of layout Groups can be defined from schematic or within xpcb Groups can be used early to optimize connectivity Group Outlines are available to manipulate all parts in a group Groups are hierarchical Parent-child relationships can be defined through drag & drop Top-down management of the circuitry 24
25 Planning Groups New objects that represent groups of related parts Visualized with symbolic bubbles that indicate combined area of parts Larger circle more space needed to place group Parts and sub-groups can be placed using the RMB Group name Component Sub-Group 25
26 Floorplanning Connectivity between Planning Groups is visualized by netlines Widths signify the amount of connections between groups Thicker line more connections Reorganize circuit groups by minimizing connection length Simple & effective way to drastically improve placement Compared to previous methods, this is a ground-breaking process 26
27 27
28 Placed Groups Placed circuits have persistent grouping Group Outline around all objects Outline dynamically updates as objects are manipulated Manipulate the entire group by selecting the Group Outline Move, Rotate, Copy, Push, Fix Lock actions Freeze Group: allows circuit to be moved but not individual objects Each object now has a Part Ref Des Always fitted within part outline Used as a handle to select parts 28
29 Component Explorer New interface that drives all placement and planning Replaces existing Place Parts & Cells dialog Supports all previous functionality Navigator View allows creation & editing of Groups Placement status icons for Groups List View displays all components within board Extensive filtering capabilities 29
30 Component Explorer Advanced graphical features Cross-probing Component Marking Component Preview Connection Options Place by Schematic Quick access to Spares, Mechanical Cells & Drawing Cells 30
31 Clusters & Rooms Front-end designers can pass design intent onto back-end Add Cluster property to schematic parts User Group will appear in xpcb, including sub-groups Works for Room property too Designate areas of the board where parts should be placed Layout designers can also create their own Groups 31
32 Marking Components User-managed netline visibility in Display Control Between Marked Comps From Marked Comps Allows user to focus on one block of circuitry at a time Mark Groups or specific parts 32
33 33
34 Routing Automation 34
35 Routing Challenges Tight design density & exploding design constraints require automation to manage Auto routing can produce low quality results forcing heavy rework Poor support for advanced mfg. technologies demands workarounds 35
36 User-Controlled Automation Routing environment User control Quality (mfg, performance) Complete Digital, analog, flex, rigid-flex High-speed, HDI, embedded Intuitive methods Easy to learn, fast to execute Apply powerful routines with little effort 36
37 Customer Feedback on Routing Performance How much faster do you estimate for the overall routing task? Depending on the design, with many BGA s and large groups of nets, somewhere between 50-60%. I think I personally can get 35-40%. Focusing on routing DDR that previously took days just to route. I was able to complete it in about 4 hours! 37
38 Fanout Patterns Works on multiple components & high-pin count devices Supports SOIC & BGA component types Apply from Fanout Selected button or RMB menu 38
39 Net Explorer Provides quick access to grouping to help organize routing strategies Navigator View displays constraint grouping (read-only) and allows creation & editing of User Groups List View displays nets in the selected group Additional control through crossprobing & marking 39
40 Netline Visibility Netlines are now selectable design objects Visible within Selection List Controlled from Global View & Interactive Selection Additional graphical options in Display Control Dynamic Filtering From Marked Nets Transparency 40
41 Sketch Router Unparalleled speed & efficiency Two Sketch styles Freeform: draw artistic doodle Line: draw straight-line segments Two routing styles Packed: keeps traces together Unpacked: spreads traces out Powerful, yet simple to use 1. Select target netlines 2. Draw Sketch path 3. Hit Sketch Route 41
42 SR Via Patterns Use via patterns to let Sketch Router switch layers Five pattern styles with five rotations each Arbitrary pattern lets software choose Experiment with multiple styles until you receive best results 42
43 Hug Router Supplements Sketch Router use as a post-processor Hugs existing routing when creating a new trace Push & shove traces and vias Free to use any allowable layers and vias 43
44 Real Trace Plow Dynamic Push & shove traces as soon as the clearance gets too small Delayed Waits until cursor hits point where there is no violation performs a single push & shove to insert the trace Both modes available off RMB Mouse up style Mouse drag style 44
45 Active Clearances Displays clearance information in real-time during Plow Adjust circle size and color from Display Control Toggle on & off with RMB Works for Delayed & Dynamic Real Trace Plow 45
46 Prohibit Violations Turns off DRC for Plow Mode temporarily Toggle on & off with RMB Creates clearance violations only when necessary i.e. push & shove cannot place trace otherwise Affects only the area around plowed trace Stipple pattern reminder Use Repair command after 46
47 Phase Tuning Tuning now supports dynamic length matching New CES Phase Tol and Phase Tol Distance Max constraints New Online Hazard: Phase Matching New graphic icon: Diff Pair Phase Match Automatic & Manual Tuning controls Sawtooth Pattern parameters in Editor Control 47
48 3D Design 48
