CAD Translation Workflow – Our Process

Customer Inputs: GigHz initiates the CAD translation workflow by collecting essential customer inputs, including the PCB database comprising schematics, layout, libraries, Bill of Materials (BOM), Design Rule Check (DRC) rules, layer stack-up, and templates for documentation.

PCB Database Auto Translations: The necessary toolchain is used to automate the translation of the PCB design database, ensuring seamless integration with the required EDA tool.

Review and Editing: After translation, GigHz thoroughly reviews and edits the translated schematics and layout. This step ensures that any properties lost during the auto-translation process are corrected for accuracy.

DRC Review: A thorough Design Rule Check (DRC) is performed to identify and correct any discrepancies or violations in the translated design, ensuring compliance with specified rules and standards.

Schematic and Layout Netlist Comparison: GigHz performs a detailed comparison of the schematic and layout netlists to ensure consistency and accuracy across all design elements.

Gerber Setup: The Gerber setup is modified based on the original project specifications, optimizing the translated design for fabrication and manufacturing processes.

Documentation and Release: The final step is comprehensive documentation and release, which provides clients with organized and detailed information about the translated CAD data, ensuring a smooth transition to the desired EDA platform.
