Nortel Corporate Presentation ? 2004 Nortel Board level design tools introduction Weisong Lin August 3rd, 2010 Topics Session 1: Introduction of PCP design process. Session 2: Introduction of Component select and ECAD request. Session 3: Introduction of Cadence tools (from concept to PCB). Session 4: Introduction of Valor. Session 5: Introduction of the Datasets for Matrix or DDMEz. Session 6: QA Session 1: Introduction of PCP design process. PCP: Print circuit Pack; (In GSM; often called PCBA.) Difference for PCB and PCBA(PCP): PCBA include the PCB, and with component installed on it. 1. Nortel’s PCP Design process. 2. What focus here today? 1. Nortel’s PCP Design process. (1-2) 1. Nortel’s PCP Design process.(2-2) 2. What focus here today? A). Quick review from DI to PA. 2. What focus here today? The process above will involve many design tools. such as P-Smart, Chooza, ECAD request wizards, Cadence (concept and allegro) ,Valor, etc… B). Mainly focus on the design tools (Cadence and Valor) here. Session 2: Introduction of Component select and ECAD request. 1. P-Smart and Chooza are the Component database for Component select. 2. For a design (before do CS), we will do: draw out a KIL Bom ; do coding job in P-Smart; ECAD request. P-Smart snapshot Chooza snapshot Snapshot of ECAD request system 3.It is a very important phase for the design here. Any mistake here will induce the design issue. (Case 1 review_CSC) Session 3: Introduction of Cadence tools (from concept to PCB). 1. Quick review for some PCB design tools: Protel(99,DXP,AD6…), Cadence (Orcad, allegro), Mentor (PADS, Expeditio), etc… 2. Why Cadence? Contain many tools: schematic, PCB, SI analyze, PLD program etc… Can customize by user, etc… Snapshot of Nortel’s customize Cadence Key view for Cadence tools Project manager Concept /DE HDL Allegro 1. Project manager Every design starts from the project manager. It contain the entry for schematic to
