Starting as a pilot platform for a real project, which could be completed in less time than previous projects by eliminating many design issues, we have been able to successfully use the new technology after a short transition period.”

We implemented a similar process as before, but with an improved flow that facilitates the cooperation between different locations. “The migration to the new Expedition tool generation was well managed and conducted successfully with great support from Mentor Graphics. “After evaluating tools from Mentor Graphics and another well-known EDA supplier, the Expedition Enterprise flow finally gained the upper hand,” said Thomas Mäder, Director Hardware Engineering Group, Siemens Switzerland (AG), Building Technologies. The HyperLynx product suite improves product quality and ensures predictable design costs by reducing the number of prototypes, manufacturing re-spins and overall development costs.

It represents the ideal solution for today’s high-density PCBs.Ĭombined with the Expedition Enterprise platform, the HyperLynx product offers a comprehensive solution for designing high-performance electronic products. Siemens Building Technologies Division selected the HyperLynx signal and power integrity product because of its accurate analysis and simulation capabilities, ease-of-use, and quick set-up time. By using the Expedition Enterprise product, Siemens is able to shorten the development process, optimize their design capability, and reduce the number of design cycles. This capability is built on Mentor’s award-winning PCB layout architecture which allows for an interactive and automatic design within a single, correct-by-construction design environment. The Expedition Enterprise solution provides a concurrent team design flow capability, which enables multiple layout designers from remote locations to simultaneously work from a single design database. WILSONVILLE, Ore., Decem– Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that Siemens Building Technologies Division, Switzerland, has successfully benchmarked the Mentor Graphics® Expedition® Enterprise printed circuit board (PCB) design flow and has smoothly migrated from its existing Board Station® design environment and tools of other PCB design solution vendors to Expedition Enterprise and the HyperLynx® Signal Integrity (SI)/ Power Integrity (PI) analysis product.
