Case Study: Advanced Layout Solutions accelerates high-speed PCB design with Cadence Sigrity X

Advanced Layout Solutions cuts PCB design cycles and reaches first-pass accuracy with Cadence

Advanced Layout Solutions (ALS), the largest high-speed PCB design bureau in the UK, faced challenges with increasing project complexity, lengthy design cycles, and costly late-stage rework due to difficulties in identifying signal and power integrity issues early. To maintain their competitive edge and meet customer expectations, they turned to Cadence for its Sigrity X technology.

Cadence implemented its Sigrity X suite of signal and power integrity analysis tools, enabling early in-design problem detection, optimization of via structures and decoupling capacitors, and robust system-level power validation. The results for ALS included substantially reduced design cycles and faster time-to-market, improved design accuracy with fewer iterations, and cost savings through material optimization. Cadence's solution strengthened ALS's reputation as a trusted partner for complex projects.
