New translators and interfaces from Intercept
Keyword: Intercept Technology Inc
Intercept Technology Inc. has added several translators and interfaces for Innoveda® users who wish to transition to Intercept's modern, advanced design environment. These new translators and interfaces are key additions to Intercept's Unplugged Series, a group of dynamic applications that give users the freedom to replace all or part of their third-party design flows with Intercept products, including the front-end schematic capture application, MOZAIX, and the highly-advanced layout software, PANTHEON. With these applications, Intercept gives Innoveda users the flexibility and freedom of use no other EDA company can offer.
Intercept offers the following translators and interfaces to Innoveda users:
Import PCB translator for PADS®. This translator completely converts a PADS database into a Pantheon database.
Import CAE translator for Powerview®/ Viewdraw®/ePD®. This CAE translator converts a complete ViewDraw database into a complete Mozaix database.
CAE Interface to Powerview®/Viewdraw®/ ePD®. This interface is a bi-directional logical interface that provides forward/back annotation and cross-probing of design changes between a Pantheon database and an Innoveda schematic.
Physical Interface to XTK®. This interface allows data transfer between XTK and Pantheon.
Physical Interface to Hyperlynx®. This interface converts a Hyperlynx database into a Pantheon database and vice versa.
