2 National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group Capture, simulation, PCB layout, and test R&D center in Toronto, Canada ni.com/multisim for all online resources Integrated electronics design and test platform to combine simulation and virtual instrumentation 2

3 Agenda Engineering Needs Traditional Landscape Innovation In the EDA Industry Innovation Bridging the Software and Hardware Gap Integrated Design and Test 3

4 Engineering Needs The Wish List Meeting Product Release Dates & Engineering Deadlines Meeting PCB Performance Targets Meeting Engineering Development Costs Increased Innovation Improved Design and Test Process EASIER path to final product 4

5 Traditional Landscape Problems for the Engineer Engineers & organizations have different tools for each task Difficult communication between engineers Difficult to manage the complete design flow Difficult to address transfer from design to manufacturing Difficulty to incorporate feedback into improvements This is NOT the best practice in design, validation or production 5

6 PROPINQUITY Noun1.propinquity - the property of being close together Proximity, nearness, closeness The spatial property resulting from a relatively small distance; "the sudden closeness of the dock sent him into action" 6

7 THE REALITIES OF DESIGN The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twentyfirst Century (Paperback) by Thomas L. Friedman (Author) 7

8 Traditional Landscape Result of No Best Practices Difficulties for participants leading to production and sale of a product: Design Group Test Group Manufacturing Group Products do not meet development cost targets 45% to 64% of products miss cost targets* Designs require as many as 3 re-spins 21% to 39% of designs require as many as 3 re-spins* This results in costly, longer design and production cycles * Source: Aberdeen Group Analysts - Midsize Companies Save with Fewer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Re-Spins

9 Traditional Landscape Product Development Design Integrated Circuits Processor Design Board Design Prototype Test Validation Verification Manufacturing Verification Quality Assurance Yield Optimization Virtual barriers hinder iteration feedback in design and manufacturing Lack of integration causes: Lost time in the transfer of information, data, iterations etc Increased difficulty to communicate necessary changes and iterations Increased chance of design error through poor communication 9

10 Traditional Landscape Product Development Manual Transfer of Design through the Flow Part Evaluation & Research Schematic Capture Design Simulation Layout & Routing Prototype Test & Validation Data-sheet research, small prototypes Design topology created Verification of design model Prototype CAD implemented Prototype verified for manufacturing Design Iterations to Numerous Stages & Software Applications Time wasted in manual transfer Difficult co-ordination and communication between applications Difficult iteration increases chance of error 10

11 Innovation Product Development Best Practices Design Integrated Circuits Processor Design Board Design Prototype Test Validation Verification Integrated Design Flow Manufacturing Verification Quality Assurance Yield Optimization Integrated Manufacturing Industry direction is to provide the Best Practices Key to Best Practices is Integration: To increase communication Provide predictable paths to develop and verify To remove traditionally isolated stages 11

12 Innovation Product Development Today First breed of innovative solutions focused upon external integration Standards for communication with OEM, fabricators and manufacturing Shift of analyses to verify designs both in design and manufacturing Design for Fabrication PCB Design Manufacturing Analyses & Verification Manufacturing Best Practices for the Feedback of Design Iterations Manufacturing Analysis in Design Communication & Design Transfer 12

13 Innovation Product Development Today Design and manufacturing has been improved Innovation required to improve design before manufacturing Easier Communication Standardizing path to follow data Common procedural tasks associated and integrated Designers require innovative methodology to improve design Predictable path to design and verify ICs Unified processor design and deployment Predictable, unified, and streamlined flow for the design, verification, and test of Printed Circuit Boards 13

14 Innovation Bridging Software and Hardware A Standard Path or Process to Transfer Design or IP to Hardware à Computer Based Design, Simulation and Verification Iteration of Design ß Verification of Design can be Input Back to Computer Design to Easily Iterate 14

15 Innovation Board-Level Design & Test Integration through the Initial Design Stages Part Evaluation, Schematic Capture & Simulation A Unified Environment for the design and simulation of a PCB Layout & Routing Prototype CAD design implemented Prototype Test & Validation Prototype verified for manufacturing Manual Transfer of Iterations to Design Stages A integrated design environment improves efficiency Layout and routing can, and are being integrated to improve iterations However, continued difficulty in the feedback of test data to improve design 15

16 Innovation Best Practice of Integrated Design & Test Increased communication between Design and Test Engineers Standard information transfer between design and test Easier feedback of remaining design iterations Design Environment Part Evaluation, Schematic Capture & Simulation A Unified Environment for the design and simulation of a PCB Layout & Routing Prototype CAD design implemented Prototype Test & Validation Prototype verified for manufacturing Fewer design errors and iterations Faster (and easier) transition to manufacturing 16

17 Best Practice of Integrated Design & Test Increased communication between Design and Test Engineers Standard information transfer between design and test Easier feedback of remaining design iterations National Instruments Design Environment NI Multisim A Unified Environment for the design and simulation of a PCB NI Ultiboard Prototype CAD design implemented NI LabVIEW, TestStand & VIs Prototype verified for manufacturing Fewer design errors and iterations Faster (and easier) transition to manufacturing 17

18 The Vision for Integrated Design & Test Integrated Design and Test will evolve to remove the line between design and test National Instruments Design Environment NI Multisim A Unified Environment for the design and simulation of a PCB NI Ultiboard Prototype CAD design implemented NI LabVIEW, TestStand & VIs Prototype verified for manufacturing A single NI design environment to design, prototype, test and deploy PCBs while reducing iterations, standardizing communication and improving feedback 18

19 Closing Remarks Industry has seen the need for Integration as a Best Practice Evolution with manufacturing seen with Design for Fabrication Innovation now seen for Design before Manufacturing Integrated Design and Test for PCB engineers Bridging the divide between design and test Increased innovation through faster iteration Improved design and test process EASIER, QUICKER and more EFFICIENT path to final product 19
