Advanced schematic capture and part selection capabilities

Cadence® Allegro® Design Entry HDL streamlines the high-speed design process by merging schematic design with PCB design. It combines schematic design entry capabilities with extensive simulation and board layout solutions, and serves as the "productivity hub" for all CAE-required tasks associated with system design flow. Within Allegro PCB Design XL series, Allegro Design Entry HDL XL easily integrates with Allegro Constraint Manager to assist in the high-speed design process. It also works seamlessly with Cadence® NC-Verilog® digital and NC-VHDL for HDL-based verification solutions and Allegro AMS Simulator for analog simulations.

Key Benefits

• Assigns and manages high-speed design rules for nets such as differential signals using the embedded Allegro Constraint Manager
• Integrates with Allegro AMS Simulator, Incisive Simulators and Allegro PCB SI for simulation and signal analysis for PCB or FPGA design flows
• Allows synchronization of logical and physical designs using visual design difference tools
• Ensures integrity of design among multiple users through team-based design entry support with systematic version control
• Enables a customisable user interface by offering modifiable menus and toolbars to accommodate company, group, or individual needs, as well as SKILL for developing new commands

Allegro Design Entry HDL is available in the following configurations:
