Allegro X AI Technology
Allegro X AI technology, an application of the Cadence.AI Generative AI Platform, is a next-generation system design technology that offers revolutionary improvements in performance and automation. This generative AI offering is built on and accessed through the Allegro X Design Platform and offers transformative time savings for PCB design, with placement and routing (P&R) tasks reduced from days to minutes and with equivalent or higher quality compared with manually designed boards. Allegro X AI technology automates component placement, power plane creation, and routing critical nets. Allegro X AI enables electrical engineers to explore the solution space for a higher quality of results and hand over a better starting layout to PCB designers, while significantly enhancing the productivity of the PCB designers.
Dramatic reduction in design turnaround-time by automating placement, power plane generation, and critical net routing
Placement automation using generative AI enables feasibility analysis in early design phases, driving shorter wire lengths
Integrated tightly with system analysis technologies for electrical and thermal performance
Leveraging scalable architecture that uses compute infrastructure on the cloud, enables transformational productivity improvement
- Automated Placement:
Combining traditional physical design algorithms with generative AI techniques, Allegro X AI produces compelling placement of components on the PCB. Exploring a much larger solution space than what is possible through manual methods, the technology drives optimization of metrics, such as shorter wire lengths, while adhering to the design constraints. - Auto-Synthesis of Power and Ground Planes:
The technology automates metal pour, addressing the needs of designers who spend a significant amount of time laying out P&G planes. - Critical Net Auto-Routing:
Critical signal nets are auto-routed, adhering to electrical and manufacturing constraints, reducing the time needed for the designers to complete the routing of the PCB. Fast analysis is integrated to ensure the layout produced is correct by construction.
