Uses Cases for Copper Pour AI

Allegro X AI can be implemented for multiple scenarios depending on your requirements and needs. The following are some examples of use cases for Allegro X AI copper pours:

Feasibility and Exploration

Allegro X AI can be used for feasibility studies and exploration of different copper plane configurations for your PCB designs.

Benefit: Minimal setup and planning time

PCB Setup Required: Assign DC voltages and review the cross-section for plane and conductor layer definition.

Allegro X AI Setup Required: Leverage automatic layer assignment features to provide Allegro X AI the flexibility to identify the best copper pour configuration.

Plane Generation for Advanced PCBs

Allegro X AI can be used to generate planes and pours for advanced PCBs. For designs containing HDI routing, it is recommended to manually add HDI vias to inner planes before running Allegro X AI.

Benefit: Automate copper planes and pours generation while optimizing power delivery.

PCB Setup Required: Review via lists and pad-pad connect settings.

Allegro X AI Setup Required: Default setup.
