Allegro Design Authoring

Advanced, scalable schematic entry with powerful features including reuse of designs

Cadence Allegro Design Authoring provides the first step in PCB design definition, with productivity enhancing features and constraint management to keep your design flow on track.

Allegro Design Authoring maximizes workflow efficiencies through its collaborative design approach. The design can be partitioned at a sheet or block level, and each designer can be assigned one or more blocks or sheets. Any number of designers can work on different parts of the same design simultaneously without interfering with each other. This concurrent design approach makes Allegro Design Authoring extremely productive for large designs. Designers work on the board layout and schematic in parallel. Changes made in either Allegro Design Authoring or Allegro PCB Editor can be merged and synchronized periodically.

  • Eliminates rework with powerful library creation and management
  • Allows synchronization of logical and physical design
  • Enables multi-user parallel development with systematic version control
  • Integrates smoothly into pre-layout simulation and signal analysis
  • Supports customizable user interface and enterprise deployment

Advanced Schematic Editor

Schematic Editor within Allegro Design Authoring allows you to create flat or hierarchical designs without requiring you to enter into “hierarchical” or “occurrence” modes.
It provides a cross-referencer that annotates the schematic with references to allow easy tracking of signals on plotted schematics. Schematic Editor also allows you to place multiple discrete components quickly. For example, to place 512 resistors that tie into a 512 bit bus, you need only place one resistor on the bus and specify that 512 such components need to be placed, and Schematic Editor will connect 512 bits to 512, greatly reducing the number of graphical components needing to be placed and displayed within a design.
The Allegro Design Authoring point-to-point wire router makes it easy to connect ports on two different symbols, saving time to create the schematics. Similarly, automatic insertion of a two-pin component within an existing net generates associated input and output pins automatically while adhering to the associated net names, shortening time to create basic schematics.

Multiple Design Reuse Capabilities

Allegro Design Authoring gives you multiple choices for reuse, so you can select the most effective approach for their design.
Sheets from old designs, blocks, or entire designs can be reused, which reduces rework and errors. You can copy single or multiple sheets from one design to another using the Import Sheet UI, or just copy/paste special circuitry among different designs. You can reuse electrical constraints as part of a block or by using electrical constraint sets (ECSets). The technology further allows you to create “reuse” blocks and place them in a library for use in other designs, just as with components. The connectivity, constraints, and layout from each block can also be reused. The same block can be used multiple times in the same design without renaming or copying.

Part Developer

Allegro Design Authoring solution includes Part Developer, which enables creation and validation of symbols and part data.
You can import data from multiple types of input data (csv, tabular, Mentor, Synopsys, ViewDraw, etc.) Part Developer can export symbols in Cadence OrCAD® Capture and Mentor Design Architect and ViewDraw formats to enable a single-part library creation environment that can service a mixed-vendor PCB design flow. You can define a property template where the property name value pairs, location, color, and size attributes can be pre-specified. This template can then be applied to the parts directly, thus creating parts with a consistent look and feel.

Constraint-Driven Design

Integration with Allegro Constraint Manager makes creating design intent quick and easy, it adds physical and electrical constraints that make communication of constraints reliable.
Integrating constraints with schematic creation makes capturing and communicating design intent to downstream processes very efficient and eliminates the risk of unnecessary prototype iterations. It also shortens the PCB implementation process by enabling a constraint-driven PCB design flow.
The spreadsheet-like system allows you to capture all electrical constraints within the design database, eliminating the need to communicate constraints and design data separately. Advanced features include the ability to automatically extract, use, and override constraints from blocks added to the design.
Constraint Manager presents constraints through several separate worksheets for different types of electrical constraints. It allows you to capture, manage, and validate the different rules in a hierarchical fashion. Constraint Manager enables you to group all of the high-speed constraints for a collection of signals to form an electrical constraint set (ECSet). This ECSet is then associated with all the nets in the group.
