This eliminates the need for data translations between tools, a process that can introduce errors into the design. In the Cadence implementation, BoardQuest is the heart of Performance Engineering. If you did your job right up front, then much less time would be spent on analysis and test. To extend the Performance Engineering methodology, BoardQuest's SigNoise signal integrity analysis engine improves the up-front modeling by supporting the IBIS modeling standard and offers additional capabilities for modeling today's increasingly complex drivers and receivers. As part of the design intent continuum, Allegro understands all the constraints developed in BoardQuest.
Performance is linear, independent of the number of constraints applied.
For high-speed designers, the additional tool integration and advanced design intent continuum introduced by Performance Engineering accelerates a design process that would otherwise be slowed by a point tool approach and imprecise translations. Inc. All rights reserved.
