Product Creation
Enabling efficient product creation
Key Benefits
- Efficient product creation
- Constraint-driven PCB design for shorter development cycles
- Co-design and co-analysis for optimized system cost and performance
- Electrical verification and signoff to improve product reliability and manage cost
- Design and supply chain collaboration with efficient handoff to manufacturing
Enabling Efficient Product Creation
Product creation looks beyond chip or board design and considers the entire product, including software applications, mechanical enclosures, and the underlying electronics. The process of creating electronic products encompasses collaboration among team members that extends beyond authors and implementers, integration of design process into corporate systems, and efficient collaboration with manufacturing partners.
As PCB is the integration point to build successful electronic products, Cadence is taking steps toward product creation with its Allegro® PCB and IC packaging design tools, as well as the Sigrity™ SI/PI analysis tools. Our focus areas for product creation are:
- Design authoring and constraint-driven PCB layout, routing, and tuning
- Co-design and co-analysis across silicon/package, package/board, and board/board
- MCAD-ECAD board-enclosure co-design
- Power-aware electrical verification and signoff
- Design and supply chain collaboration with efficient handoff to manufacturing

With the Allegro constraint-driven design flow, we are now able to take a project from design to manufacturing in four to six months, depending on the complexity of the project. This represents a more than 25% improvement in productivity from our previous process.

The AiDT feature in Allegro PCB Designer ended our frustrations over all of the time we were spending on routing and tuning. All of hours we're saving as a team [now] can be directed toward new project requests for the business.

With Allegro TimingVision, everything is right there in front of you—this simple fact allows the routing process to be sped up dramatically, from the manual routing efforts we have seen that can take up to four weeks, down to four days.
