Typical design flow Architectural planning for a new product starts with some simple basic decisions like how many units or modules the product will consist of and what the basic function and interconnect of...
Believe it or not, you can use your Circuit Block Library for architectural planning too! Traditional wisdom dictates that a circuit block library can only be used for detail circuit design. The truth is...
Building a circuit block reuse library is easier than you think A reuse library can boost productivity and product reliability. There are a lot of hardware functions that can be reused over and over...
Design engineers must have the ability to make intelligent component selections involving critical supply chain information without having to leave their design environment. In today’s world, end-of-life status, lead time, part preference and trusted/consistent parametric data are as important to your company’s design process as is the standard CAD content.
There is one thing that all design engineers will agree on: creating and gathering all the required data for PLM is error-prone and can be a royal pain. We all understand the value of releasing our design data to the corporate PLM system but our design process dictates multiple release points, and each one has a different purpose and data requirements.
