In this section: Introduction to Xpedition Introduction Design Process Overview The Xpedition Design Flow Xpedition Feature Highlights The Xpedition Start Pages 8 Introduction Introduction Xpedition is by far the most productive and complete PCB design suite that allows individual engineers and small workgroups to design highly complex PCBs while at the same time offering an affordable cost of ownership. Skeptical? We invite you to take a closer look using this evaluation guide and see for yourself. Xpedition is for the individual PCB engineer who does it all, operating independently or in small teams. Until now, your choice of design tool has been a frustrating compromise. High-end enterprise solutions that handle design complexity come with too much unnecessary overhead and the associated challenges of ease of use and cost of ownership. While desktop solutions are easier to use and have lower cost, they sacrifice productivity as design complexity increases. Xpedition delivers the best of both worlds - powerful technology from Mentor Graphics’ Xpedition combined with a focus on ease of adoption, ease of learning, ease of use, and affordability. Xpedition provides a tightly integrated design flow with everything you need to get the job done. Hierarchical schematic and table based design creation with intelligent parts selection Unified constraints definition and management across the flow Component information and library management Easy design reuse Analog/mixed signal SPICE simulation Performing Design Analysis (pre-layout) Pre- and post-layout signal integrity analysis based on our leading-edge HyperLynx technology Board level thermal analysis Best-in-class, PCB layout featuring: • A single layout environment • Correct-by-construction approach to plane design, placement, and routing • Hierarchical component planning and placement • The industry’s most powerful auto-interactive routing environment for large busses, single ended, and differential pair nets • Groundbreaking Sketch routing • Advanced fabrication design including HDI and Flex PCB documentation and manufacturing outputs While Xpedition is a complete suite for complex PCB design, you still have the flexibility of adding specialized advanced capabilities from the HyperLynx family of products, advanced packaging, FPGA co-design, and 3D design and modeling. Xpedition is a key part of Mentor Graphics scalable PCB design solutions. If you are a PADS user in need of higher performance design, Xpedition offers a simple upgrade path that allows you to leverage your prior experience of the PADS flow and tools. When your design needs evolve towards enterprise capabilities such as distributed libraries, design management, and concurrent engineering, you can seamlessly transition to Xpedition . We hope you’ll agree – with Xpedition, the days of compromise are over. Welcome to a new breed of PCB design solution for the next generation of PCB Engineers. 9 Purpose of This Guide This Evaluation Guide will introduce you to the major features and capabilities of the applications and help you to understand how they work together to unify and simplify your design process. We will walk through the entire workflow from symbol creation to design capture, rules and constraints entry, to layout, placement of components, interactive routing, and design verification to final output. The focus throughout is on using the entire Xpedition flow, with special attention paid not only to those areas where the applications function similarly, but also to the integration and transition locations, providing tips on how to get the job done more efficiently. Working Together This attention to workflow means that we will also show you how to use the applications together with real-world design examples. Along the way, we also introduce you to many of the great new features in each application, highlighting some of the more interesting techniques with steps and lots of illustrations. To see which applications and features a section covers, scan the “In this section” list at the beginning of each section. Further Exploration Finally, remember that this document is an evaluation guide, not a comprehensive user guide. Your most complete source of detailed feature information is the Help Menu in each application. In addition, take time to examine the resource information accessible through the Getting Started, Help, and News links within each applications Start Page. There you will find even more information on a variety of Mentor Graphics resources that will help you get started, get informed, and get inspired while using Xpedition. We hope this evaluation guide helps you see some of the exciting design possibilities uploads/s1/ expedition-pcb-guide.pdf
