ATLANTA – Intercept Technology Inc. introduces the
Xtent Technology Rules Editor, available in version 4.0 Mozaix and 6.0 Pantheon.
Xtent provides rules management and high-speed constraint options in an interactive, multifunctional data flow passed in full to and from the Mozaix schematic and Pantheon layout.
The integrated application gives users access to quick creation, manipulation and assignment of design rules and constraints. Features include a spreadsheet format, providing visual previews for layer stackup and padstack construction, as well as color-coded highlights to indicate rule or constraint violations and changes in layer rules.
RF-, high-speed– and hybrid-specific design flows are available in both standard Pantheon and Mozaix applications, allowing flexibility to specialized design environments at or above any software package available in the market.
Xtent has two high-speed constraint options, signal path class and signal path, licensed separately for high-speed design environments. The specialized design flow has the ability to define signal path, net or pin-to-pin length constraints using formulas and functions. In addition, signal path objects are able to be auto-defined through user-specified pattern criteria.
