MakeCAP allows engineers working within the OrCAD Capture schematic to easily embed the high-speed properties needed to drive the Cadence Allegro® constraint driven flow.
- Work from your schematic database to select nets and parts for adding properties
- Apply new properties to multiple nets and parts; edit existing properties
- Define values and objects with perfect syntax
- Organize properties for the Allegro Constraint Manager and high-speed flow
- View properties in both Schematic and Constraint Manager-style views
- Compare properties between schematic versions
- Define differential pairs and rules
- Cross-probe from MakeCap to an open schematic in OrCAD Capture
MakeCAP uses a new, unique data organizing paradigm, a database-linked spreadsheet view.
All cells tie to the Capture schematic Component and Netlist database. Engineers select from
the available data objects for assigning values. Multiple objects can be selected using wildcard
searches and pick lists. Entries are error-free and all Property Editor syntax is perfectly defined.
All properties included in the OrCAD Capture Property Editor are supported in MakeCAP.
MakeCAP uses the Capture DSN schematic file as input and the Capture program is not
required for use. If Capture is present, MakeCAP cross-probes so objects selected in
MakeCAP are highlighted in the Capture program. Using the Capture database as source,
MakeCAP allows the creation of PinPairs for complex Propagation Timing properties in the
Capture Property Editor.
MakeCAP includes a built-in Compare function for comparing properties and objects between
any two versions of Capture schematic. Full ECO reporting and tracking can be easily done,
with immediate visual highlights of adds, deletes and changes, as well as text reports for change
tracking. The Compare function provides a fast and easy way to spot differences
between two versions of builds that show manufacturing or performance variances.
Versions of MakeCAP are available for Node, LAN and WAN application environments.
MakeCAP is powered by the
MakeGOOD AllegroCentric Constraints Engine.
