Pulsonix Overview

3 min read

Pulsonix has been designed with users in mind at all times. This means that wherever a process or option can be automated intelligently it has been.

The architecture of Pulsonix means that it is open and flexible, with endless possibilities of being able to mix and match different facets of designs and design items to produce layouts based on as much existing design data as possible.

Key Product Components

  • Schematic Design - create schematic drawings, from simple single page circuits to complex, true instance hierarchical designs.

  • Spice based simulation - interfaces to industry leading mixed mode simulators.

  • PCB Layout - powerful board layout tools embracing the latest manufacturing technologies.

  • Comprehensive built-in Micro-via technology is included as a standard feature.

  • Autorouting and Autoplacement - fully integrated into PCB layout for ease of use.

  • Interactive High Speed option - a set of constraint driven, rules based.

  • Import Designs in Gerber format - import and intelligently rebuild designs using existing Gerber, Excellon data, Bill of Materials and Pick and Place data.

  • Reverse Engineer Feature - rebuild Schematic designs using PCB data, if you only have the PCB design, rebuild from Gerber files even and Reverse Engineer them back to an intelligent Schematic design with fully matching integrity with the PCB.

  • Interfaces and import of externally created component library data from many third parties. The Pulsonix PLX format allows full import capability.

  • Creation of manufacturing data - many in-built CAM and plotting outputs and a powerful Report Maker option to generate your own data file formats. Built in Reports are also provided for common design processes.

  • Advanced Technology Option - a set of licensed features to support embedded components, flexi-rigid designs and Chip On board technology:

  • Flexi-rigid Board Technology - a combination of rigid and flexible boards in one design.

  • Board Cavities : using areas to expose inner layers to the surface.

  • Embedded Component Technology - creating special components to be placed within internal layers of boards.

  • Chip Packaging Toolkit - creating and manipulating die pads, bond pads and wires in footprints and PCB.

Interfaces

  • Import designs and libraries from other Schematic/CAE systems - Altium, Accel, P-CAD, Protel, Cadstar, Visula, CR5000, PADS, OrCAD, Allegro, Eagle, Integra, UltiBoard and many more.
  • Import netlists from other Schematic/CAE systems - Viewdraw, OrCAD, MultiSIM, PADS, Cadstar, EDIF 2.0.0.
  • Links to external autorouters - powerful wizard based interface to Cadence Specctra and interfaces for the Zuken Route Editor and Electra autorouters.
