Signal Opens

During routing, Allegro X AI analyzes if the required connections were completed. This information can be viewed in the Signal Opens Report. 

Select the pie chart for Signal Opens.

routing signalopen

The Signal Opens Report displays the number of opens for each signal net and includes:

  • Net Type
  • Net Name
  • Number of Opens

Differential Pair Impedance

Allegro X AI analyzes routing adherence to the differential pair impedance constraints defined. Select the pie chart for diffpair impedance pass.

The differential pair impedance report includes the following information:

  • Net 1
  • Net 2
  • Measured differential pair impedance
  • Differential pair impedance constraint
  • Differential pair impedance constraint tolerance
  • Odd mode differential pair impedance constraint
  • Odd mode differential pair impedance constraint tolerance

Wire Impedance

Allegro X AI analysis routing adherence to the impedance constraints defined. Select the pie chart for wire impedance pass.

The Wire Impedance report includes the following information:

  • Net name
  • Measured impedance
  • Single ended impedance constraint
  • Single ended impedance constraint tolerance

DRC Result

XAIRouting DRCReport

The DRC report includes the number of design rule violations and information regarding the type of design rule being violated, location on the board, and more. Select the hyperlinked coordinates for DRC Marker Location to be brought to the location of the DRC error on the PCB.

Run Time

The run time displays the total time taken to complete routing by Allegro X AI.

Note: This metric will not display additional information when selected

Additional Information

Timestamps with additional information about the Allegro X AI run are displayed. This includes the pre-checks and screenings performed as well as any errors or warnings encountered. 

To improve Allegro X AI routing results, errors and warnings can be addressed, the updated board can be uploaded to Allegro X AI, and routing can be re-run.
