Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT), the market leader in
printed circuit board design (PCB) solutions, today announced the
availability of the next generation of PADS� flow with the
introduction of PADS2007. This newest release offers layout
designers and engineers the ability to implement RF and microwave
circuitry using highly automated functionality, perform design for
fabrication (DFF) checking early in the design process, and
optimize performance with advanced high-speed analysis/verification
functionality, thus significantly improving their productivity and
design quality. �Mentor Graphics continues to invest in the future
of PADS by strengthening the capabilities of designers to integrate
RF circuitry design, high-speed net analysis and routing, and DFF
into the PADS design flow,� said Dan Boncella, director of
marketing, System Design Division, Mentor Graphics. �This new
release extends Mentor Graphics� technology leadership by moving
these sophisticated design capabilities into the PADS desktop PCB
solutions.� �Harris Corporation is excited about the new
enhancements and features that are included in the new PADS 2007
release. The new library structure and direct DXF into the decal
editor will save hours of effort for our EDA librarian staff by
solving alpha-numeric translation issues and importing RF modeling
directly into the decal editor,� said John Adamski, EDA Specialist,
Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division. �The new RF module
has several time saving features. Trace manipulation for RF
circuits, automated via shielding for sensitive traces, via plane
flooding feature that is user selectable for interior plane fill or
exterior (edge) fill. Manual via shielding for RF or EMI is now a
thing of the past.� Additional enhancements in this release
include: High-speed routing improvements: controls for matched
length nets and differential routing improvements. Square and
chamfered corners, DXF-in import, and via matrixing enhancements
for RF design. Blind/buried via drill table improvements: designs
with partial vias (blind or buried) are automatically updated with
the layer pairs and drill count of the partial vias in the design.
Alpha-numeric pin improvements: simplifies creation of large
BGA-based parts. ECO enhancements: includes comparison of design
rules between the schematic and layout databases. Design for
fabrication (DFF) analysis: powerful fabrication checks, such as
acid trap, starved thermals, solder mask slivers are checked in the
CAD environment and database, allowing the designer to identify and
correct manufacturing problems in PADS Layout, before Gerber
generation. Pin number visibility: the user has the ability to turn
on/off the visibility of the component pin numbers, either numeric
or alpha-numeric, improving designer productivity during routing.
SI analysis: integration of DxDesigner� and the HyperLynx� LineSim�
tool through a new interface allows fast transfer of a circuit for
analysis and back annotation of termination resistor values. Analog
simulation: provides a board level simulation analysis and
verification through a common schematic editor for both simulation
and PCB design entry. About PADS PADS is the Windows�-based
standard for PCB design solutions, combining value and broad
technology. Its rich functionality and affordable pricing give
customers a high return on their investment, enabling them to
handle everything from basic designs to complex high-speed
applications with speed, quality, and ease of use. For more
