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: GigHz reviews and edits all translated schematics and layouts. As a leading EDA company, we correct any properties lost during auto-translation to ensure accuracy across our EDA services.
DRC Review: A complete Design Rule Check (DRC) is performed as part of our EDA design automation process to identify and fix violations, ensuring compliance with design 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.
