Capabilities
Mastering Precision: Elevate Your PCB Design Workflows
Rise Above Competition with Enhanced Component Libraries and Simulation

Allegro X Design Platform provides access to a comprehensive collection of pre-defined components and models via third-party content providers and the PSpice extensive model library, so you can focus on your design instead of component creation. Reduce unnecessary errors and enhance your design process by utilizing validated and read-to-use parts. These pre-defined libraires make it easy to simulate your circuits under various operating conditions so you can ensure optimization and reliability.
Leverage Comprehensive Design Rules for Precision and Efficiency
Tackle complex projects effortlessly with a constraint-driven environment offering dynamic visual feedback. Electrical, physical, spacing, manufacturing, and more help ensure functionality and manufacturability while improving production efficiency across various industries.
Concurrent Engineering and Collaboration

The Allegro X Design Platform allows PCB teams to collaborate globally with concurrent engineering during the PCB layout design cycle. This allows multiple designers to work on the same design simultaneously. Changes are updated in real time across a common database, ensuring design consistency without copy and paste actions.

High data transfer rates, noise, improper component placement, and poor delivery networks are some of the factors that can cause signal and power integrity issues. With the integration of system analysis technologies like signal and power integrity, thermal analysis, and electromagnetic (EM) analysis, engineers and PCB designers can easily rely on the integrated analyses such as IR drop, impedance, return path, and more within Allegro X Design Platform to identify and resolve any issues for optimal system performance.
Integrated Design Management and AI-Powered Automation

With the Allegro X Design Platform, streamline CAD library management with automatic version control and collaborative workflows. Harness the power of AI for efficient component placement and routing, reducing design tasks from days to minutes. Additionally, benefit from the industry's broadest design rules for advanced substrates, supporting specialized IC packaging features.
Collaborative, Modern, and Efficient ECAD-MCAD Co-Design

The seamless bi-directional integration between Allegro X and all the major MCAD tools fosters an efficient and collaborative experience which ensures that your design data is synchronized and versions controlled throughout your PCB design process. Easily push and pull changes as needed from electrical and mechanical domains, visualize design form and fit, and minimize design iterations.
Ensure Reliable Circuit Performance and Longevity in the Field

Utilize PSpice and the integrated reliability checks such as mean time between failure (MTBF) and electrical overstress (EOS) to simulate your circuits and ensure that they are electrically and thermally dependable. Easily identify whether your components can withstand environmental conditions or are exceeding device limits due to current, voltage, or power.
Effortless Setup to Ensure Manufacturable High-Quality Products

Comprehensive DesignTrue design for manufacturing (DFM) rules, interlayer checks, and high-density interconnect (HDI) rules allow you to design rigid, Rigid-Flex, and compact designs while adhering to design requirements. Set up design rules and validate early in the design cycle versus post-design to dramatically reduce the back-and-forth with your manufacturing partner so you can avoid costly re-spins and field failures.
Meet Length and Phase Constraints

In high-speed designs, timing is critical for preventing data loss and achieving optimal signal performance. Allegro X Design Platform makes maintaining the signal integrity (SI) of your high-speed designs easy! With the Allegro X TimingVision environment and in-design length and phase constraints, you can rely on color-coded visuals to help you identify and resolve any delay and phase information directly on your canvas, ensuring that your signals meet timing requirements.
