CR-5000 Components Manager
The use of common library data throughout the whole design cycle is an essential element of the CR-5000 constraints-driven, right-by-construction methodology. The libraries are easily searchable and editable. In addition, tools are provided for fast and easy component creation.
Benefits
- Common data is used throughout the design process to eliminate errors.
- Duplicate entry of component data is avoided, saving time and expense.
- Being able to locate components quickly prevent unnecessary new components being added, resulting in lower inventory and better purchasing leverage.
- Reduces time in creating complex shapes because wizards are available for both logical and physical information e.g. BGAs
Components Manager ensures that data such as logical properties, pin allocations, gate information, shape information, and schematic symbols can be quickly and easily registered. The linking of, and mutual relationships between, logical property information and component shape information can be easily confirmed using a Tree View display. Groups checking can be carried out for incomplete registration, errors and the consistency of linking.
Wizards remove the need for manual creation of footprints for everything from BGAs to D-type connectors and wizards for parametric creation of pad stacks are available. The consistency of libraries can be maintained across multiple locations. Functionality includes comparison, copying and deletion of duplicate component information.
