factors. Once again, we partnered with
Socionext to develop prototype design
approach based on a quick turnaround
time design environment to solve these
needs (Figure 6). The solution uses
simulations of electrical characteristics
from prototyped design as the design
becomes more detailed. It is a closed-
loop approach where the design definition
drives the simulations that influence the
design. The solution also supports multi-
company collaboration and contribution
for analyses. It leverages the IEC 63055/
IEEE 2401 authorized LPB format.
Additionally, it supports short turn
around time (TAT) iteration, chip floor
planning, pin assignment, substrate auto-
route, and reuse reference design on the
package. Ultimately, the prototype design
approach allows engineers to answer key,
early development questions in a new,
faster way. This method empowers better
decisions and provides other benefits
throughout the development process
