The Calibre direct to DEF output option enables fast, accurate back-annotation of DFM objects to P&R applications without any time-consuming database conversions.
DFM tools can help shorten design iterations, and improve yield, but they are typically not well-integrated with P&R environments. Previously, back-annotation of DFM changes required time-consuming database conversions from GDS/OASIS to DEF format. Direct write DEF capability now enables fast, accurate back-annotation of fill, via, and net objects to P&R applications.
Integrating USB Type-C connectors into designs requires developers pay careful attention to proper connector options and recommended layout guidelines.
