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. We require that students who are not actively using the tools first complete either the Allegro PCB Editor or the Allegro Package Designer course.

The Allegro High-Speed Constraint Management course uses a series of lectures, examples, and hands-on experience to deliver the information you need to apply and verify high-speed constraints across your design process. This one-day course will use examples to show you how to schedule nets, control impedance on nets, control the propagation delay from your drivers to receivers, match the propagation delay of driver and receiver pairs, and more.

In this course you will learn to:

- Define specific net scheduling of high-speed nets.
- Match the propagation delay of nets and connections.
- Define minimum and maximum propagation delays for nets and connections.
- Identify high-speed constraint violations.
- Identify all the high-speed constraints that you can apply to the nets in your designs.

Course Contents and Time Table
- Constraint Introduction
- Working with Differential Pairs
- Scheduling Nets
- Controlling Relative Propagation Delay
- Controlling Propagation Delay
- Impedance and Etch Length Constraints
- System-Level Constraints

Audience
This course is for PCB designers and package designers who need to constrain the high-speed nets in their designs.

Prerequisites

- The student must be familiar with the Allegro PCB Editor or the Allegro Package Designer.

Lecturers
Cadence staff is responsible for customer training, many instructors have advanced degrees in either education or engineering as well as practical knowledge of the software and curriculum development. Technical Service Engineers also teach classes and draw on their experience by helping designers in the field.
