PCB Systems Board Station XE

Product catalog summary

Overview: Board Station XE is a leading PCB layout tool powered by AutoActive technology, designed to handle complex PCB designs with ease and efficiency. It integrates advanced functionality with user-friendly features to streamline the design process.

Key Features:

AutoActive Technology: Provides a unified environment for place and route editing, reducing design time and increasing productivity. It maintains all physical and high-speed rules, ensuring high-quality results without the need for cleanup.
Dynamic Area Fills: Automatically clears area fills around traces, vias, and pads during edits, maintaining connectivity and allowing for real-time adjustments.
Rules By Area: Enhances routing around BGAs and fine-pitched parts by allowing rule areas to be defined by layer, adjusting trace widths and clearances automatically.
Multiplow with Variable Via Patterns: Enables simultaneous routing of multiple nets with true 45-degree routing, offering flexibility in dense design areas.
Dynamic Hazard Review: Displays design hazards dynamically, allowing for easy identification and resolution.

High-Speed Design:

Constraint Definition: Supports extensive constraints for high-speed performance, shared between schematic capture and layout.
Net Tuning: Provides graphic tuning aids and automatic re-tuning of nets to maintain design constraints.
Differential Pair Routing: Facilitates easy routing and editing of differential pairs, with automatic adjustments for paired traces.

Xtreme Technology: Allows up to 15 clients to work simultaneously on a common database, significantly reducing cycle times.

Advanced Interconnect Routing: Supports complex via structures and microvia geometries, facilitating design of build-up structures and enabling escape patterns from dense areas.

FabLink XE Pro Integration: Provides tools for manufacturing data preparation, including panel creation, data views, and output validation.

Operating System Requirements: Compatible with Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Professional, Linux (Red Hat and SUSE), and Sun Solaris.

Contact Information: Mentor Graphics Corporation provides contact details for various regions including the USA, Europe, Pacific Rim, and Japan for sales and support.

Catalog excerpts

What is AutoActive Technology? Multiplow With Variable ViaPatterns > A single, integrated, place and routeediting environment that reduces total design time and increases productivity Board Station XEגs multiplow func-tionality allows you to simultaneously route multiple nets, including differen- tial pairs, with true 45 degree routing. It can even handle routing through areas of staggered pins. Traces being routed will push and shove the other vias and traces out of the way and automatically clear area fills as needed. Changes can be easily made to a variety of selectable via patterns at the...

Designers today are increasinglychallenged by the need to manage signal quality in order to achieve system performance and reduce proto- type iterations. High-speed design with Board Station XE is an integrated part of the AutoActive design environment. Constraint Definition Board Station XE handles an exten-sive set of constraints to meet high- speed performance requirements whether youre routing interactively or automatically. A common constraint definition environment is shared between schematic capture and layout, allowing the evaluation of critical signals at any design stage. Constraints...
