Allegro X System Capture offers an integrated and collaborative environment for modern, multi-board hardware design, supporting development from system-level architecture to detailed circuit capture and variant management. This platform connects with advanced analysis tools to enable electrical, thermal, reliability, and rule-checking workflows that improve overall design quality. Automation features and built-in collaboration streamline repetitive tasks, circuit reuse, co-authoring, and centralized library management to keep teams aligned.
Features
In-design analysis
Allegro X Design Platform, powered by Sigrity X, delivers real-time, color-coded insights directly within the layout environment. This helps engineers identify and fix signal and power integrity issues early, improving performance and reliability.
Interactive Routing
Interactive routing tools give PCB designers precise and efficient control when handling both simple and complex board layouts. Features like real-time constraint-driven routing, group routing, delay and phase tuning, smart via handling, and dynamic shape updates adapt to evolving design needs. Together, these capabilities help maintain signal integrity, meet timing goals, and deliver high-performance PCB designs.
Team Design Symphony
The Allegro X Design Platform enables real-time global collaboration, allowing multiple engineers to work simultaneously on schematics and PCB layouts with synchronization, version control, and conflict protection. With permission controls and Team Design’s share-and-invite environment, teams can divide tasks such as placement, routing, constraints, and analysis to complete complex designs faster and more accurately.
Miniaturization and HDI Design
Allegro X Design Platform supports HDI and miniaturization technologies, enabling efficient use of embedded components, microvias, and blind, buried, or stacked vias for compact form factors.
The advanced 3DX engine delivers a detailed 3D view to verify spacing and positioning between components, vias, and traces. Constraint-driven rules and robust design checks ensure manufacturability, reliability, and high performance in complex, space-constrained PCB designs.
Constraint Manager
The integrated spreadsheet-based constraint manager in the Schematic and PCB Editor controls electrical, placement, routing, and manufacturing rules to ensure design accuracy and compliance.
Hierarchical rules update net status in real time and can be exported as technology files for easy reuse across designs.
