Valor Enterprise 3000 Version 8.2 Highlights HDI Design Verification

Published: 06 April 2009
 by Staff
YAVNE, ISRAEL –Valor Computerized Systems Ltd. has released Enterprise 3000, version 8.2, an automated DFM verification tool for PCB design.

According to Valor, version 8.2 introduces significant improvements to overall system performance.  On average, processing time is reduced by 25% due to improvements made to the analysis algorithms.  In addition, improvements in memory management enable analysis of larger designs than previously possible. The new version also incorporates functionality that improves the system’s ease-of-use, simplifies the DFM analysis preparation process and improves upon filtering capabilities.

Version 8.2 provides additional new analysis verification for HDI designs through the integration of net integrity, electrical return path, and via stack count for HDI designs. “Via Stack Count” verification is used to locate likely microvia fractures and return path validation. Version 8.2 also enables wire bond and die pad netlist validation.

A new design preparation rule set module makes preparing a design an order of magnitude faster and easier than using traditional automation techniques. Attributes are now provided with a complete and meaningful name, making it easier for DFM users to set-up and be productive.

The analysis for thermal impact of embedded pads has been improved to calculate the percentage of perimeter for the covered area to minimize incorrect identification of DFM issues.

The Enterprise 3000 DFM software provides a virtual manufacturing system that can simulate the entire PCB production process, concurrent with the design process, reducing respins, lowering the cost of new product design and improving overall quality.
