Fight part shortages with Nexar/Octopart Integration

Now more than ever, when every part used in your design seems to be a critical part, It’s important to identify part availability early on in the design cycle

NetBom extracts Part Lists from Schematics, NetLists or Allegro PCB boards and Leverages OctoPart from Nexar to merge real time supplier stock data and pricing information into our interactive BOM reports

NetBom Device Pinout Verification

NetBom compares the connections made to selected devices in your NetList to the expected connections defined in a Pin Report. Pin Reports can be AMD/Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice and Microchip FPGA reports, or spreadsheets from vendor datasheets and design specifications

• Interactive checklist with a Tab for each Device, and a row for each Device Pin

• Net Name to Pin Name matches are initially graded using an advanced Fuzzy Algorithm

• Net Voltages are compared to Pin Voltage requirements found in the Pin Reports

• Powerful filtering and sorting enable quick focused validation

• Mark rows as Accepted or Rejected and save markups to apply to successive runs

Explore Designs with Graphical Net Tracing

• Visualize extended connections extracted from Schematic, NetList or PCB

  • All net block/page endpoints displayed in one view

  • View Detailed Part and Pin Properties

  • Trace both ends of a Diff Pair

  • Trace Full Power Nets

• Expand/Collapse ‘Net Stops’ to see more endpoints

• Export Views to PDF for documentation

• Create Cross Probe files to visit endpoints in Schematic or PCB

Power Rail Capacitance Reports

Summary and Detail Reports of all the power rails in your netlist(s)

• Rail Voltage is extracted from Voltage Properties or inferred from NetNames

• Edit and update Rail Voltages

• Edit individual Capacitor Derating Settings for Voltage and Value

• Audits every Capacitor in your design and flags overvoltage

• Open Graphical Net Trace for selected Power rail

• Cross Probe to Selected Capacitors in Schematic or PCB

Net List Reports

NetBom Builds Interactive NetList reports enabling the user to explore and verify their design. The XNET report identifies and combines multiple connected nets to reduce the number of rows required for checking

• Filter and Sort Nets using any column data

• Net Voltage is extracted from Properties or NetNames

• Pins/Nodes sorted by their block/page in schematic

• Cross Probe to find Selected Net Pins in Schematic or PCB

• Select Nets to view with Graphical Net Trace.

• Creates additional Excel, RINF, and CSV reports for customer post-processing

Part List (BOM) Reports

NetBom Builds Interactive PartList reports enabling the user to explore and verify their design.

• Filter and Sort Parts using any column data

• Part Voltage is extracted from Property or Part Descriptions

• RefDes are sorted by their Block/Page in the schematic

• Cross Probe to find selected RefDes in Schematic or PCB

• Octopart Report identifies critical part shortages

• Creates additional Excel, RINF, and CSV reports for customer post-processing

NetBom Inputs and operations

NetBom Design Inputs include Cadence, Altium, Mentor and Zuken NetLists, Capture Schematics, Allegro PCB .brd files, and customer BOM Spreadsheets

This Enables a wide variety of Compare operations including:

• NetList to NetList

• NetList to BOM

• Schematic to Netlist

• Schematic to BOM

With new support for Allegro System Capture Netlists, NetBom can be used to verify Allegro Capture and Allegro HDL Design Conversions
