  Hugh Tarver – Engineering manager at VMETRO Ltd.
   
 

“With an integrated tool flow in Cadence Allegro, we have seen increased productivity for PCB design. Now that our designs are heavily constrained, the PCB design might be expected to take a lot longer. However, the design checking process is so much shorter, that the overall time is less. More importantly, with all the necessary nets constrained in the schematic, the chances of a PCB revision for signal integrity reasons have been vastly reduced. Cadence Allegro design entry HDL has had advanced features (such as constraint editor) for a long time, and it has been stable for us. We have not seen any bugs with the software. This compares favourably with our experience with competitive tools which promised good things, but in VMETRO’s experience were not stable.”

 
Mike Osmond - Intrasys Design

“The days of “Joining the Dots” have long gone. Providing highest performance, lowest unit cost while reducing
cycle times is the challenge for today’s PCB Designer With a vast knowledge of all PCB types and technologies Intrasys delivers "Design for Excellence" from the simplest to the most tightly constrained high speed controlled impedance boards. The versatility of the Cadence tool sets and high levels of integration throughout our methodology, allow Intrasys to provide an unrivaled solution for our customers.”

 
Nigel Rowe– Shane Consultants Limited

“Cadence Allegro has helped us push the technological envelope for designing layouts using multi site μBGA, high density, RF, digital and high layer counts. As a leader in ATE hardware fixtures, we have found
the alliance between Cadence and Parallel Systems a useful synergy, where both companies have given their
expert advice towards new software tools, updates and training programs, helping us to make
sure that we keep ahead of our game.”

 
Craig Britton – Supply Design

“OrCAD PCB Designer with PSpice provides my business with an integrated development tool that works from the first schematic concept, through simulation and on to product realisation - all straight out of the box. It's even useful during hardware debug as the link between the Capture and PCB Designer allows for quick and easy track tracing. Add in the effective and intelligent customer support and you have a first class package. OrCAD Capture allows me to get on with the job of designing electronics without having to fight my software. From jobs with 10 components on a single sheet through to complex hierarchical systems with 30 schematic pages, Capture has handled it all”

 
Jim Hurford - Dayford Designs

“We purchased OrCAD Layout and it was good value for money. We felt that it was not meeting the requirements for today’s high speed technology and complex designs, and were pleased to hear that
the product was to be upgraded. The new, “OrCAD PCB Designer” utilises the highly regarded Allegro PCB Design Editor which has brought greater efficiency in component placement and routing; we were very impressed with the way it handled routing in planes/copper pouring etc. Library management is significantly improved and there is a general feeling of increased productivity. It is fully compatible with the high end Allegro
product range”

 
Zafer Jarrah - Hybrid Instruments UK

“I am thoroughly impressed with the Orcad Unison package as a whole; the software has proved to cater for all my demands as a design engineer. Complex and large-scale schematics are easily realised and intuitively managed. The integration between the PCB layout and the schematic is seamless and enormously simplifies the
development process. The SPECCTRA PCB auto-router is both powerful and simple to use. This has resulted in a faster time to market compared with previous software packages.”

 
David Lockie - MD, DL Designs

"DL Designs provide a complex PCB design service, our customers demand the best quality with fast turnaround. From RF to High speed impedance controlled PCB's pushing the boundary of PCB
layout as demanded by leading edge technology. To deliver these high standards, we use the Cadence Allegro PCB software, it is the most versatile tool we use."

 
Mark Jeffery - Diamond Point

“The Cadence PCB Editor's new constraint manager gives complete control over the design in an easy to use spreadsheet format, it enables the designer to quickly identify problems which are visibly highlighted in red.”

 
- Chris Halford - Advanced Layout Solutions

“The majority of our PCB layouts are complex, highly constrained designs that demand a signal integrity-based design-flow. The Cadence Allegro v16 schematic entry, PCB layout and SI analysis tools, provided through
Parallel-Systems, give us the ability to handle the most challenging designs and maximise our competitive edge. Continual feature development, expert technical support and a high level of productivity are just three reasons
why we’ve built our company around Cadence Allegro.”
