Allegro® PCB SI™
At first glance the simulation environment looks identical to Allegro PCB Designer - such is the high level of integration between the tools in the Cadence flow.
Constraint
Manager
The Constraint Manager ensures that physical and electrical constraints are met. There's an endless list of electrical parameters available for the design engineer to control, from overshoot (mV) to first switch times (ns).
SigXplorer
Whether we're running pre, concurrent or post-route simulations, the SigXplorer "canvas" is the common space for exploring net topologies and identifying the
necessary constraints.
SigWave
Viewing simulation results in SigWave is the natural way to study signals as they can be easily compared to real measurements on oscilloscope displays. Signals can be viewed in the time or frequency domain, eye patterns can be displayed and data can be imported from Tektronics, LeCroy, HP and Agilent laboratory instruments.
Model Integrity
Simulation models can be developed, modified, checked and translated using this tool. Supported formats are DML, IBIS (2.1, 3.2, 4.0), ESPICE, QUAD, S-Parameter (Touchstone) and HSPICE.
