Cadence Allegro and OrCAD 16.5 provides customers with new capabilities for a shorter, predictable, and convergent path to product creation. The latest Allegro technology is now available through flexible on-demand product configurations that offer cost-efficiency and scalability. Allegro 16.5 spans silicon, SoC, and system-level development and offers PCB designers benefits such as:
- Higher functional density with a constraint-driven flow for embedded components
- Faster timing closure with new PCB interconnect design planning technology
- Fewer physical prototype iterations with concurrent team design authoring
- More efficient low-power design with integrated power delivery network analysis
- A compliant and faster implementation path with package/board-aware SoC IP
- Smoother collaboration among global teams with new SiP distributed co-design
- Flexibility through “base plus options” configurations
OrCAD is now more powerful with 3 new PCB configurations: OrCAD Designer Professional, OrCAD Designer Standard and OrCAD Designer Lite that provide the lowest cost of ownership ever.
Each Allegro product area has a “What’s New” tab that provides details on what is “new” for this latest release
