Enabling Fast and Efficient PCB System Design
Front-end PCB design requires detailed analysis, mainly functional conflict resolution and the unambiguous capture of goals and constraints. Cadence® technology supports multiple design approaches for accurate simulations and tradeoffs.
Cadence PCB layout and routing technology offers a scalable, easy-to-use, constraint-driven PCB design solution for simple PCBs to complex multi-board PCB systems, including those with RF etch components. Innovative new auto-interactive technologies help designers efficiently and quickly route increasingly constrained high-speed designs. Cadence PCB design tools streamline the process for ECAD/MCAD collaboration using industry-standard EDMD (IDX) schema and design data handoff to manufacturing through modern, industry-standard IPC-2581.
Stresses on signal and power integrity grow with every increase in speed, complexity, and miniaturization. Cadence SI/PI technology helps you address everything from simple electrical analysis to multi-board signal simulations in the multi-gigabit range.

The AiDT feature in Allegro PCB Designer ended our frustrations over all of the time we were spending on routing and tuning. All of hours we're saving as a team [now] can be directed toward new project requests for the business.
Sky Huang, Deputy Director of Computer-Aided Engineering, Pegatron
By implementing the Cadence Allegro platform in our design, we have improved our PCB design productivity by 30%. A project that would have taken six weeks using our previous tools was completed in less than four weeks.
