DESIGN ANALYSIS SERVICE

            ADIVA is now offering its Design Analysis tools as an Internet Service via our secure Internet portal. The ADIVA tools provide the essential verification step between the CAD Design Workstation and the Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing and Assembly industry.  Our primary goal is to save you time and money.  We accomplish this by verifying the integrity of data output from the CAD system – will each circuit card meet the requirements of not only manufacturing and assembly but also the intent of the original circuit design?  This task is achieved through several advanced analysis routines, which include . . .

CAD TO GERBER NETLIST COMPARISON

· Extract netlist from GERBER or ODB++ database

· Extract netlist from CAD database

· Compare netlists GRAPHICALLY

· Search for netlist differences – GRAPHICALLY display the problem

· ELIMINATE post fab connectivity problems caused by GERBER data anomalies through Virtual Manufacturing

VIRTUAL MANUFACTURING

· Review artwork data…NO ASSUMPTIONS MADE

· Utilize the REALTOOLS used in Manufacturing – not just CAD data     

· Check for signal integrity and manufacturability . . .

Critical Design Analysis

 

Net Comparison is an automatic process.  Analysis will report Shorted and/or Broken nets along with any missing or extra component pins.

 

Net Analysis is an automatic process.  This will produce a report listing each net by name on the card and various statistics about the net including net length, layer routing, via quantity, etc.

 

Design Rule Tables

· Strike through any design rule not desired for analysis. 

· Update any ADIVA value to your value in customer column. 

· Contact support@adiva.com if extra detail is required.

 

***  The following Performance Rules can be run on specific nets (such as critical routes) thus reducing report on unimportant nets.  Please provide separate ASCII file listing net names to check (one net name per line).  Otherwise report will be generated for all nets.
