Description
This is an Engineer Explorer class that is designed around more advanced topics and exploration of the tool. This course does not teach basic tool operations.

Design Reuse is the creation of a logical block and physical layout representing a standalone portion of a design. The logical and physical data is placed in a library for others to reuse. Any EDA user who has time-to-market pressures will benefit from Design Reuse. Design Reuse adds scalability and modularity to your design process, saving time and reducing error by facilitating the reuse of known good IP.

You will learn:
* Create a subdesign state file.
* Create a layout module file.
* Document and store the reuse design.
* Use properties to control reuse packaging.
* Work with hierarchical constraints.
* Make changes to subdesigns while in reuse.
* Customize packaging with Occurrence Edit.
* Work reuse into existing designs.
* Use macros and parameters.
* Search for related solutions on SourceLink.

Course Contents and Time Table
Day 1

* Getting Started
* Creating a Reuseable Block
* Reusing the Block in Other Designs
* Managing Changes
* Advanced Topics
* Summary and Conclusion .

Audience
* Engineering Managers
* PCB Designers
* Design Engineers

Students should be using Allegro Design Entry HDL and PCB Editor tools. Students should be familiar with hierarchical design, and have a need to reuse logical blocks and associated part placement and signal routing. Please see Course Prerequisites.

Implementing a Design Reuse methodology requires front-to-back teamwork. Enrolling representatives from both engineering and board layout is highly recommended.
