Cadence® Allegro® PCB SI furnishes an integrated high-speed design and analysis environment for engineers creating complex digital PCB systems. Allegro PCB SI allows users to develop optimum constraints very early in the design cycle. It also enables a constraint-driven PCB design flow. The result is first-pass success for even the most complex designs.

Allegro PCB SI provides a scalable solution for pre- and post-route analysis of critical high-speed signals on PCB systems and is tightly integrated with the Allegro PCB Design suites. It offers the scalability to design anything from PCB systems with large number of high-speed nets to systems having a small number of nets that operate in the multi-gigahertz (MGH) range. This integrated analysis environment allows SI and hardware engineers to explore and resolve electrical performance-related issues at every stage of the high-speed PCB system design cycle.

As timing margins shrink, it is important to consider the effects of discontinuities on the signal path, whether they are inside the package or within the system of multiple boards. The Allegro PCB SI solution performs analysis on the board, across multiple boards, or across silicon-package-boards. Its ability to read the Allegro Package Designer database and use actual signal lengths inside a critical IC package enables users to fine-tune critical signals on the PCB.

In addition, silicon design-in IP portfolios, coupled with Allegro PCB SI technology, help-speed IC adoption and implementation.

Key benefits


Reduces high-speed interconnect design time and increases the likelihood of first-pass success
Improves product performance through solution space exploration
Reduces unit costs of end products with powerful add-on option for PCB power delivery system network design
Eliminates the need for physical prototypes for multiple qualifications of multi-gigabit per second serial links through advanced siation techniques
Shortens design cycle time through faster tradeoffs of MGH signals using S-Parameters and single or coupled analytical via modeling
Saves time via a virtual prototyping environment that is seamlessly integrated with other Allegro platform design products


Allegro PCB SI is available in the following scalable configurations:



Allegro PCB SI L
  Provides an entry-level configuration of the industry's leading design system for PCB signal integrity.



Allegro PCB SI XL
