Operational Impact
The implementation of Cadence's Allegro PCB Designer with the High-Speed Option (AiDT) has brought significant operational benefits to Pegatron. The automation of the routing process has not only sped up the process but also freed up engineering resources, allowing the team to take on more projects. The team has also developed over 300 utilities in Allegro PCB Designer for routing, placement, postprocess checks, and other functions, which has helped minimize errors on the RD/layout engineering side. The solution has also increased customer satisfaction and allowed one engineer to handle routing and tuning on a project, where previously it took anywhere from one to four people. The company has also been able to reuse functions such as CPU, DDR, and PCH fan-out when the main chip placement is similar, further enhancing efficiency. | |
