Mentor    Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT), the worldwide market and    technology leader in printed circuit board (PCB)    design-through-manufacturing software, today announced the latest    release of the PADS®    product    suite, the world’s most widely used desktop PCB design solution.    These additional features in the release add significant value to    electronics companies as they strive to deliver the most competitive,    high-performance products to market faster.
      Key new features include the ability to associate nets necessary for    DDRx interconnect design. Multiple nets can now be “grouped” and given    unique high-speed constraints, including length and differential pair    rules. Associated nets adhere to these rules during interactive and    automatic routing, assuring that tight, high-speed performance    specifications are met. Another feature allows a trace to “hug” an    existing obstacle like another trace or board outline. This feature will    reduce routing time and more effectively use board space. Drafting    operations have also been enhanced with new 2D line styles and snap    capabilities.
      “The new associated nets functionality in PADS 9.4 reduces design time,”    stated Johnnie Howman, director at Icarus Design. “I can now easily    define the high-speed associated nets, assign constraints, and be    assured that they will be routed to those rules.”
      The PADS 9.4 software is a significantly enhanced, next-generation PADS    release which adds unique DFM analysis functionality to the PCB design    space, giving the designer the ability to perform over 100 fabrication    and assembly checks in PADS    Layout. This analysis is based on the Valor® technology, the    industry leader in fabrication and assembly DFM analysis. Complimenting ODB++    intelligent data transfer from design into manufacturing, the new ODB++    viewer provides the ability to overlay and compare traditional CAM    documents, such as Gerber files for PCB design-through-manufacturing    data integrity. Detecting and correcting manufacturing issues early in    the design process helps decrease overall time to market by reducing    design/manufacturing re-spins. With the scalable PADS 9.4 flow,    engineers and designers can cost-effectively design the industry’s most    complex, highest-performance, and densest PCBs.
      “The PADS 9.4 release provides our desktop customers with the critical    technologies required for today’s complex PCB designs,” stated Mike    Griesbach, PADS product director at Mentor Graphics. “Our completely    integrated and scalable PADS 9.4 flow addresses high-speed, thermal,    manufacturing prep, signal and power integrity, FPGA to PCB    optimizations, and much more.”
