Xpedition Enterprise – PCB Design Software

Xpedition Enterprise is the industry’s most innovative PCB design flow, providing integration from system design definition to manufacturing execution. Its unique technologies can reduce design cycles by 50 percent or more while significantly improving overall quality and resource efficiency.

Multi-Discipline Systems engineering

Xpedition delivers integrated, collaborative, co-design systems connecting IC packaging, multi-board, RF, harness, FPGA and MCAD to ensure teams have the flexibility and intuitive technologies they need:

• Multi-Board design: The Xpedition multi-board systems design flow is a fully-parallel, collaborative design environment where global teams can work on the same design in real-time, providing the flexibility and intuitive technologies to develop innovative and competitive products
• ECAD/MCAD Co-Design: Efficient collaboration between ECAD and MCAD domains enables both to optimize their electronics designs within tight form-factor constraints while still meeting quality, reliability, and performance requirements
• FPGA/PCB Co-Design: Xpedition I/O optimization technology provides an extensive set of functionality to ease the FPGA-on-board integration process
• IC packaging design & verification: Monolithic scaling limitations drive the growth of 2.5/3D multi-chiplet, heterogeneous integration that enables PPA targets to be met. Our integrated flow addresses prototyping challenges to signoff for FOWLP, 2.5/3D IC, and other emerging integration technologies
• A/D/RF Co-Design: Context with the rest of the PCB. Engineers can enter schematics, optimize layout, and prepare for manufacturing when designing with RF circuits. Integrations with external RF design and analysis tools ensure RF circuit quality
• PCB/Harness Co-Design: Ensure accurate connectivity in systems interconnected via cables by co-designing them with the multi-board hardware. Optimize cabling to ensure optimal performance of the complete system

Xpedition engineering data management facilitates the creation and management of engineering components, library, and design data to ensure quality, integrity, and security at all stages of product development

• Managed Design ReuseXpedition EDM facilitates design reuse through enterprise-wide data management of reusable circuit blocks from both the library and design perspectives. Reusable circuit blocks provide teams with an efficient process to leverage a library of ‘certified’ circuitry during new product development
• Model-Driven Part Creation: A powerful component and ECAD library management solution helps librarians speed up the process of researching and selecting parts
• Library Management: Leverage a central library to manage all aspects of the logical to physical part data required in complex PCB systems. The library management solution is scalable, supporting simpler requirements for smaller companies, up to more complex requirements incorporating full component management
• Design Data Management: Integrate and manage Xpedition design data through the entire PCB design lifecycle
• PLM Integration: Manage access and security in each step of the design release process to avoid costly risks
• Web-based Design Review: Optimize collaboration across the larger enterprise with a web-based platform that increases management visibility into projects and facilitates design reviews
