Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), the leader in printed
circuit board (PCB) design solutions, today announced its new
Expedition(TM) Enterprise flow for PCB systems design. This flow
enables large electronics companies to leverage their
multi-disciplined design team resources, and create and provide
access to their intellectual property on a global basis. It also
allows companies to integrate their design data with corporate PLM,
and supply chain and manufacturing systems, as well as to
communicate with outsourced design and manufacturing. Expedition
Enterprise can significantly improve competitiveness and
performance by combining advanced PCB design technology with
library and design data management, and a unified constraint
editing system. "To better serve the needs of our automotive
customers, we had to address the challenges, as well as leverage
the benefits of working in a global enterprise," stated Rick
Sturgeon, executive director, Engineering Operations and PBU IT,
Johnson Controls, Inc., a Fortune 70 company that is a global
leader in automotive systems, building controls, and facility
management. "We needed to improve operational efficiency through
reduced design cycle time and product costs, with improved design
quality. The Expedition Enterprise design flow enables us to
leverage our design team resources and intellectual property to
achieve our objectives." Expedition Enterprise Flow Overview
Expedition Enterprise addresses the challenges of the global
enterprise, including intellectual property management, supply
chain integration, and design team management across multiple
sites. It integrates and manages the system design flow and enables
seamless data transfer among design teams, improving designer
productivity and design team collaboration, while facilitating
communication with the corporate enterprise. This new solution
offers improved library management which simplifies supply chain
management, increases library quality, and reduces product costs.
Expedition Enterprise also integrates FPGA and PCB design flows,
allowing concurrent design that leverages the FPGA's I/O
flexibility, and addresses routing and timing challenges, and
facilitates common design constraint management. Expedition
Enterprise is available on multiple hardware platforms to support
existing hardware investments "Expedition Enterprise is the
culmination of recent technology acquisitions combined with
significant engineering effort to deliver the next-generation PCB
systems design solution," stated Henry Potts, vice president and
general manager of Mentor Graphics' Systems Design Division.
"Expedition Enterprise was created in collaboration with our global
customers to solve their enterprise business and technical design
challenges." Functional Overview -- Library creation -- Creates all
library elements in a single design environment, leveraging the
supply chain for web-based components that minimize library
development time and increase its quality -- Design data management
-- Manages library and design data to ensure appropriate access to
and integration with corporate product life-cycle management
systems -- Constraint editor system -- Provides common rule
definition and verification environment for physical and electrical
constraints, from design capture through layout -- Design
definition -- Utilizes powerful hierarchy to capture large designs
quickly, reuse proven circuits and attributes, and manage hundreds
of variant designs -- Functional verification -- Quickly simulates
analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits within an integrated
environment -- PCB/FPGA co-design -- Concurrently designs an
integrated FPGA/PCB system for optimal system performance and
reduced design cycle time -- Signal integrity verification --
Leverages an advanced multi-lingual device and interconnect
modeling environment to verify the integrity of synchronous and
asynchronous signals -- Design layout -- Utilizes AutoActive
correct-by-construction methodology to place and route complex PCBs
in a single design environment based on constraints for advanced
interconnect and high-speed -- Concurrent team layout -- Optimizes
design team resources and reduces design cycle time through
simultaneous design on a common database -- Design for fabrication
-- Runs fabrication checks and facilitates fixes in a single
environment, reducing design cycle iterations and increasing design
manufacturability -- Manufacturing preparation -- Easily creates
and validates board panels, copper balancing, and product
documentation within the common layout editor -- Process
customization -- Automates and extends the design environment using
industry-standard languages to achieve company-specific design
process optimization About Expedition Enterprise This new tool
suite provides superior integration of Mentor's proven and
industry-leading technology. Expedition Enterprise builds on the
core flow with critical plug-ins to improve designer productivity
and support advanced design technologies. The new flow encompasses
DxDesigner(TM) for design definition, CES for constraint editing,
Expedition PCB for layout, and DMS(TM) for data management. Also
included in this flow is ICX Pro(TM) Explorer, which is used to
evaluate and verify constraints defined early in the process. It is
built on Mentor's AutoActive(R) technology, and uses the same
database and environment as Expedition PCB. Pricing and
