Allegro Design Authoring Available in "base plus options" con- figurations, Allegro Design Authoring provides a scalable solution that adapts to your changing needs. Allegro Design Authoring (Base) provides a robust, yet easy-to-use schematic creation environment that allows you to create flat or hierarchi- cal schematics for your products. Its enterprise-ready Schematic Editor integrates seamlessly with Allegro AMS Simulator, Allegro PCB SI Signal Explorer and Simulator, and Allegro PCB Designer, enabling a constraint- driven PCB design flow for predictable digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal designs. The Multi-Style Option allows you to create connectivity for your designs very quickly without requiring symbols or having to graphically connect pins/ ports on symbols. Its spreadsheet- like interface makes it easy to cre- ate design intent for large pin-count devices or backplane designs 5x to 20x faster than traditional schematic-based approaches. The High-Speed Option allows you to create true design intent by integrating high-speed con- straints with the connectivity through hierarchical, reusable electrical con- straint sets (ECSets). This enables a constraint-driven PCB implementation flow to ensure a shorter, predictable, and complete PCB design cycle from concept to manufacturing. Other configurations include a Team Design Option, an FPGA System Planner Option, an FPGA ASIC Prototyping Option, and a Design Publisher Option. Benefits • Shortens time to create design intent • Enables concurrent schematic and layout design • Reduces design spins via a proven, constraint-driven flow • Reduces rework and prevents errors by supporting flexible design reuse • Eliminates rework with a single schematic that drives digital, analog, and pre-layout signal integrity simulators • Reduces total cost of ownership through a scalable "base plus options" configuration that is enterprise deployment–ready Features Schematic Editing Allegro Design Authoring maximizes workflow efficiencies through its collaborative design approach. The design can be partitioned at a sheet or block level, and each designer can be assigned one or more blocks or sheets. Any number of designers can work on different parts of the same design simultaneously without interfering with each other. The vari- ous design stages can then be com- bined before proceeding to layout in Allegro PCB Editor. This concurrent design approach makes Allegro Design Authoring extremely productive for large designs. Designers work on the board layout and schematic in parallel. Changes made in either Allegro Design Authoring or Allegro PCB Editor can be merged and synchronized periodically. Schematic Editor within Allegro Design Authoring allows you to create flat or hierarchical designs without requir- ing you to enter into "hierarchical" or "occurrence" modes. It provides a cross-referencer that annotates the schematic with references to allow easy tracking of signals on plotted Systems companies looking to create new products at the lowest possible cost need a way to author their designs with ease in a shorter, more predictable design cycle. With the increased use of new standards-based interfaces, architectures, and implementation approaches, hardware designers require a design authoring solution that scales with their evolving technology and methodology needs. Cadence ® Allegro ® Design Authoring is a scalable and easy-to-use solution for fast design intent creation (connectivity plus high-speed constraints) using either schematics or a spreadsheet-like interface.
