DesignAdvance Introduces CircuitProbe - New Product Enables Bi-Directional Communication Between Layout and Schematic
DesignAdvance® Systems, Inc. announced the release of CircuitProbe. The new product enables bi-directional communication, through IPC, between layout and a PDF of the schematic. The tool gives both Designers and Engineers a mechanism to select one or more design elements in either Cadence Allegro Viewer environment or a PDF of the schematic and have the corresponding design elements selected in the other application.
“As a current DesignAdvance customer, we are impressed with the productivity gains our designers achieve with CircuitSpace,” stated Greg Bodi, Senior Manager at NVIDIA Corporation. “Now with CircuitProbe, we see the combined solution being utilized by both our designers and engineers and adding value throughout our entire PCB design cycle,” continued Mr. Bodi.
Leading technology companies recognize the value CircuitSpace’s placement automation technology reductions in PCB design time have a direct impact on time-to-market for new products, which directly correlates to profitability. “CircuitProbe is a natural extension of our patented CircuitSpace technologies,” said Edward Pupa, DesignAdvance CEO.
CircuitProbe Featured Capabilities:
• Bi-directional Cross-Probe between Layout and (PDF) Schematic
• Interactive clustering
• Save physical design templates
• Population of any Allegro selection set
• Verify location of design elements in either application
