Ask Better Questions!

 

Are your projects being delayed waiting on schematic symbols?

 

 Are your librarians or engineers wasting critical time creating or waiting for schematic symbols right at the critical choke points of your design cycle?

 

Do your engineers waste hours with Excel reports attempting to annotate schematic symbols after FPGA optimization or Layout changes?

 

Are you able to take advantage of existing symbol models supplied by your vendor, even though you vendor may supply you those models for a different EDA tool.

Symbol Wizard

What are your true cost when you have design engineers waiting for days or weeks for library parts? This cost is not only measured in man hours, but more importantly; in project delays, increased board spins, and ultimately market share losses as a result of missed opportunities.

Symbol Wizard intelligently extracts  from the vendor data sheet content and relationships  including full tables, correlating and verifying the information. Higher level of context extraction includes Standard columnar and table extraction. Constructs such as bussing, termination, differential pairs, power levels, and parametric constraints are captured and maintained.

Symbol Wizard  accepts electronic files from the FPGA vendor that are used to quickly ( minutes not days ) generate the asymmetrical / heterogeneous schematic symbol sets. Critical design intent such as busses, differential pairs,  net properties and design constraints are identified and passed along to the layout and SI tools.

Symbol Wizard generates full asymmetrical symbol sets for the major EDA vendor formats. This includes support for Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, PADS Logic, and Cadence Design Systems including Concept (Allegro DE) and Capture (OrCAD) Systems.
