Cadence Design Systems is a leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software tools. The company was founded in 1988, and for over 30 years its research and engineering teams have been providing end-to-end solutions to design, verify, analyze, and implement advanced electronics hardware. With the Cadence Allegro X AI technology they have pushed the boundaries of design by leveraging the power of AI and cloud computing. This new tech accelerates printed circuit board (PCB) design by 10 times, enabling greater productivity and quality results.
The Cadence Allegro X AI technology leverages the capabilities of generative AI and traditional computational algorithms to achieve peak performance in PCB designs. This technology accelerates the placement, metal pouring and critical net routing stages of electronic circuit development, thereby simplifying the entire design process. AI makes it possible to analyze a much larger solution space in almost a fraction of the time, allowing engineers to optimize their PCB designs in terms of cost, time and quality.
Michael Jackson, Corporate Vice President of R&D at Cadence, commented enthusiastically on the Allegro X AI technology: “Cadence’s technology leadership in PCB design gives our customers much better productivity through AI-supported automation. Our system design solution incorporates the latest in AI and cloud technology, so customers can design at a fraction of the time that used to take.”
The use of AI to accelerate the design process of printed circuit boards has palpable benefits for engineers. Allan Nørgaard, CID, PCB design at Velux, praised the technology: “The Allegro X AI technology reduces the placement time from days to minutes, while taking into account signal integrity and power integrity effects. The AI technology was also able to provide me with placement options that I had not considered. The technology dramatically decreases design time and will fundamentally change how we do PCB designs.”
To set the scene for further innovation, Cadence has invited executive-level attendees from a wide array of industries to its summit in San Francisco on July 11-12, 2020. The event is going to be attended by leading executives who have benefited from AI investments and will provide a platform to discuss topics such as learning from AI investments and how to integrate and optimize AI investments for maximum success.
Cadence Design Systems’ Allegro X AI technology is taking PCB design to the next level and proving that AI is the future of industry design. The technology is helping industry professionals get the job done in record time, without compromising quality.
