The new format will be supported in Mentor's Calibre and IC Station tools as early as 1Q03. Topping the news this week was Mentor Graphics Corporation's announcement that it would support the still-unnamed GDSII replacement format.

Mentor supports next-gen GDSII format, Synopsys enters Logic BIST market Who is the best ? I can't say one or the other, but evaluating Altium looks the same difficult like Pads. Pads have some nice readable documetation (splitted in three: capture, router and layout), Altium has some very splitted documentation more difficult to read. However for FPGA design Altium have powerful libraries and firmware editor. Pads is not bad but quite difficult to work with, Altium looks the same. Design reuse and variant design are supported, which reduces product time-to-market, improves product quality, and lowers product costs. It also supports bi-directional cross-probing with all editors. Its customizable project navigator dynamically reflects the project content through a highly concurrent editing session by filtering hierarchical blocks, components, nets and properties as they are added. The integrated desktop enables engineering teams to perform every key design creation task in a single, scalable, concurrent and real-time collaboration environment. It provides everything needed for circuit design and simulation, component selection, library management and signal integrity planning in a concurrent team-based design environment. Xpedition® provides a complete schematic design solution for design creation, definition, and reuse. And the tool vendor like mentor, as a diagnostic tool, where you could provide the log file from certain tester and then it directly analyze that and indicate the source of the issue.Ĭomprehensive, collaborative circuit design, simulation and management in real time This cycle number give you the position in scan chain. When the pattern failed a report with the cycle number.
DESKCNC 2.0.1 HOW TO
How to debug the scan chain failure on silicon Reduce total design time and increase productivity by providing a single environment for critical layout tasks that can be personalized for the way you design. Single, integrated planning, place and route editing environment I can import the design into ADS, but I dont want (.) Recently, I've been putting together a lot of RF PCBs, but am using mentor Graphics expedition and trying to use good microwave judgement / rule-of-thumbs for the layout.
DESKCNC 2.0.1 FULL
I'm still novice w/ ADS and I find it difficult to believe that the tool can be used for a full RF PCB.
