ECAD Design Review

• Schematic design review from all major EDA vendors
• Gerber (274D, 274X) data review
• PCB design review from all major EDA ECAD vendors
• Comparison between PCB-to-PCB and schematic-to-schematic designs
• Comparison among PCB, schematic and BOM
• Artwork/physical/composition layer view, query, search, and measure for PCB objects
• Part, net, pad stack and via library
• Save arbitrary design shapes under a different name with a reduced file size, with a password
• Red-Mark (+) feature for comments
• Net 2D/3D display, net topology display and automatic composite net generation

Verification - DFM, DFE and DFA

• Checking items for DFM (500+), DFE (300+), DFA (50+) and DFE+ (50+)
• DFM covers the manufacturing areas of board, component, drill, FPCB, package, pad, pattern, placement, and tooling.
• DFE covers the electrical areas of high-speed signals, differential pairs, common nets, power, filters, components, and boards.
• DFA covers the manufacturing assembly areas of collision, lead, placement, component and board.
• DFE+ provides verification linked to solvers for signal integrity and thermal analysis.
• Export customized and formatted Microsoft® Excel® reports of verification results.

Analysis - Signal Integrity, Thermal

• Built-in material library
• Signal integrity:
  • Transmission line analysis – TML analysis and trace optimization
  • Network analysis – Waveform analysis, eye diagram analysis, and network parameters (RLCG)
  • Crosstalk analysis
  • Net topology analysis, including topology editing function
• Thermal:
  • Built-in package-dependent thermal resistance values for components
  • 3D finite element steady-state analysis results for thermal board contour, board top/bottom, and component junction temperature
