Innoveda has released a new mid-range configuration of its popular PowerPCB printed circuit board layout solution. The PowerPCB 200 Series is claimed to offer significant savings over the company's previous versions of PowerPCB.
This latest version, upon which the 200 Series is based, incorporates a powerful Design For Fabrication module, expanded database capabilities, new routing and scripting enhancements, and tighter integration with other Innoveda tools.
The PowerPCB 200 series is an advanced design environment for PCBs. It offers users a powerful, shape-based, rules-driven design layout solution. PowerPCB features automatic and interactive routing and superior OLE automation functionality for seamless interoperability with front-end design and back-end test, repair and manufacturing processes. This integration provides a strong foundation for manufacturers of electronic products, enabling them to quickly complete complex designs.
According to Robert Kellicker, electrical R&D engineer, Taco, "My typical designs are single-sided PCBs, designed to be as small as possible with the greatest amount of functionality possible. The wide-ranging toolset of the PowerPCB 200 Series helps me accomplish this. A couple of tools I especially like are the dynamic router, which is great for tight areas and allows me to maximise real estate while meeting design rules; and the enhanced analog toolkit, which gives me the ability to place components at any orientation - a real necessity with limited area PCBs."
The PowerPCB 200 series enables customers to complete large PCBs and save time throughout the design and fabrication processes. The series comprises: the Unlimited Database Option that enables designers to create PCBs with a virtually unlimited number of database connections; the Unlimited Dynamic Route Editor Option that saves time in PCB design by aiding designers in the routing of connections; a DFF audit module for performing detailed design-for- fabrication checks in the layout environment, a physical design re-use capability that automates the duplication of replicated circuits on a PCB; and BlazeRouter, the rules-based angle-free autorouter.
