Hierarchical Design Support
Today it is common to generate schematic files that include hierarchies. The main reason is to create sub-blocks that can be developed and maintained individually – to simplify the change management process. These blocks can be developed in a way that makes reuse a possibility from the word 'go'. This highly-sophisticated development approach is particularly recommended for experienced users designing large projects with “reused parts” of the circuitry.
To maximize reuse opportunities through the use of hierarchical blocks; it is critical to adopt a strict version and revision, access control and traceability approach, in order to achieve optimum quality and to follow Design to Quality (DTQ) methodology.
