CADSTAR Constraint Browser

The CADSTAR Constraint Browser, with enhanced Topology support, provides a fast and effective way for Design Engineers to enter even the most complex rules and net constraints, using a straightforward spreadsheet style interface, linked to both Schematic and PCB layout.

Focus on the core design flow by grouping critical nets into groups such as a DDR2 data channel, then constrain them by assigning differential pairs, skew groups or defining 'family' skew values, in just a couple of clicks of your mouse.

The Constraint Browser works alongside your Schematic design so you can cross-probe selections to quickly locate nets. Constraint information is stored in a database that is shared with PCB Layout, Routing and Analysis, providing a smooth exchange of data and a consistent user interface across all applications in the design flow.

Benefits

• Easy to use spread-sheet-style Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Consistent data management between Schematics, PCB, PREditor HS, SIV & PIA
• Constraints apply to complex Electrical nets (E-nets) rather than individual point-to-point connections
• Topology Editor to determine and tune interconnect structures
• Cross probing across all Cadstar applications
