July 2009 Constraint-Driven HDI Design Flow Trims NVIDIA's Design Cycle by 25%
NVIDIA design teams rely on Cadence tools to create their IC package and board designs. They developed several in-house tools for fanout and routing to augment the Cadence Allegro constraint-driven PCB design flow, which they have been using for quite some time now. But the pressures of product miniaturization and high-density interconnect (HDI), combined with an increasing number of constraints on nets, was creating new challenges. NVIDIA required a complete HDI solution that includes high-speed rules to shorten their design cycles and meet their market window.. more...
