Smartphones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite beastmode chipset are beginning to trickle in. One of the first is the Nubia RedMagic 10 Pro series, launching initially in China this week with the international version arriving in December. These flagship gaming phones will be packed to the gills with big numbers and big specs at decent

Согласно последней информации, анонс линейки смартфонов OnePlus Ace 5 ожидается к запуску в Китае в декабре 2024 года. По сообщениям Digital Chat Station, глобальный релиз может последовать вскоре после этого. Ожидается, что на глобальном рынке OnePlus Ace 5 выйдет под названием OnePlus 13R.

Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset was launched by Qualcomm at its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii last month as a successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The rumour mill now suggests that its successor, the purported Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, might offer an even bigger jump in single and multi-core performance, despite recent changes suggested in its development plans.

OnePlus Ace 5 and OnePlus Ace 5 Pro have been in the rumour mill for quite some time now. While the BBK-owned brand has yet to share details on the lineup, a new leak claims that the vanilla model will land in China next month. The OnePlus Ace 5 is tipped to get a 1.5K resolution display. It is said to run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC chipset.

Red Magic 10 Pro+ and Red Magic 10 Pro were launched in China as the latest gaming-focused smartphones from the ZTE sub-brand Nubia. Both models have similar internals but their battery packs and...

"Snap's town had a witch. At least, that's how the rumor goes. But in reality, Jacks is just a crocks-wearing, internet-savvy old lady who sells roadkill skeletons online— after doing a little ritual to put their spirits to rest. It's creepy, sure, but Snap thinks it's kind of cool, too. They make a deal: Jacks will teach Snap how to take care of the baby opossums that Snap rescued, and Snap will help Jacks with her work. But as Snap starts to get to know Jacks, she realizes that Jacks may in fact have real magic— and a connection with Snap's family's past." -- Provided by publisher.

Cadence is super excited to announce SPB 23.1 release —Your freedom to design boldly!  

These tools help engineers build better PCBs faster with the new 3D engine and optimized interface.  

We have been hard at work to bring you this release and believe that it will help you take control of the PCB design process with the powerful new features in Allegro X APD like: 

• Packaging Support in 3DX Canvas 

• 3DX Wire DRCs 

• Aligning Components by Offset 

• Text Wizard Enhancements 

• Device File Reuse for Existing Components for Netlist and Logic Import 

Watch this space to know all about What’s New in SPB 23.1.  

Regards 

Team PCBTech 

Cadence Design System 

For individuals, small businesses, or teams, START YOUR FREE TRIAL. 

Starting SPB 23.1, in Allegro X PCB Editor and Allegro X Advanced Package Designer, you can align components by using offset mode. Earlier only spacing mode was available.

Follow these steps to Align Components using Offset Mode:

1. Set Application Mode to Placement Edit.
2. Drag the components that need to be aligned and right-click and choose Align Components.
3. Now, in the Options tab, you will notice Spacing Section with Equal Offset. You can equally and individually offset the components by using the +/- buttons for increment or decrement.

Starting SPB 23.1, Allegro Package Designer Plus (APD+) has been rebranded as Allegro X Advanced Package Designer (Allegro X APD).

The splash screen for Allegro X APD will appear as shown below, instead of showing APD+ 2023:

For the Windows Start menu in 23.1, it will display as Allegro X APD 2023 instead of APD+ 2023, as shown below

23.1 Start menu 

In the Product Choices window for 23.1, you will see Allegro X Advanced Package Designer in the place of Allegro Package Designer +, as shown below: 

23.1 product title

Have you ever thought of a handy utility to specify all necessary transmission line parameters to decide upon the stackup?   

Starting SPB 23.1, a handy feature Transmission Line Calculator, is built into Allegro X Advanced Package Designer (Allegro X APD). This feature will require either an SiP Layout license or can be accessed through SiP Layout Bundle. 

From the Analyze dropdown menu in the 23.1 Allegro X APD toolbar, you can choose Transmission Line Calculator. 

You can use this calculator to help decide constraints and stackup for laminate-based PCB or Packages. You can calculate the correct stackup material and width/spacing to meet any requirements that may be later entered in a constraint. This is truly a calculated number and not a true field solver. 

The different types of calculations that the Transmission Line Calculator can provide are Microstrip, Embedded microstrip, Stripline, CPW (Coplanar), FGCPW (frequency-dependent Coplanar), Asymmetric stripline, Coupled microstrip (Differential Pair), Coupled stripline (Differential Pair), and Dual striplines. 

This feature is important for customers relying on fabricators/spreadsheets to provide this information or need to test a quick spacing/width as per the impedance value. 

Let us know your comments on this new feature in 23.1 Allegro X APD. 

Hi，

There are mang components in BGA ball side of flipchip package.

Are there DFA check space of compont body or pin soldermask to BGA ball or BGA PAD or bga  soldermask in allegro APD?

I only find space of compont to compont in APD DFA. 

By default, a dielectric must separate each pair of conductor layers in the cross-section of a design. In rare cases, this does not represent the real, manufactured substrate.

If your design requires you to have conductor layers that are not separated by a dielectric (such as, for half-etch designs), there is a variable that needs to be set in Allegro X APD. You must set this by enabling the variable icp_allow_adjacent_conductors. This entry, and its location in the User Preferences Editor, are shown in the following image.

The Objects on adjacent conductor layers do not electrically connect together, automatically. A via must be used to establish the inter-layer connections.

When enabling this option, it is recommended to exercise caution because excluding dielectric layers from your cross-section can lead to inaccurate calculations, including the calculations for signal integrity and via heights. It is important that your cross-section accurately reflect the finished product to ensure the most accurate results possible. Any dielectric layers present in the manufactured part need to be in the cross-section for accurate extraction, 3D viewing, and so on.

Let us know your comments on the various designs that would require adjacent conductor layers.

When working on a complex design, it is common to have very many net ratlines. Quantities like 1000 ratlines are possible. It can result in a cluttered view while routing. Therefore, it is useful to make all other ratlines invisible while routing interactively. You would like to make all ratlines visible again when each route action is completed.

You can easily do this by enabling the Auto-blank other rats option during routing. When enabled, all rats other than the primary ones are suppressed during the Add Connect command.

Hello, SKILL experts. 

I'm studying SKILL language to build some useful function in APD+.
