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

How do you verify the connections you have made to key FPGAs, ASICs and Connectors in your design? With NetBom you can throw out your printouts and highlighters!

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

Device voltage connections are compared to the Pin Voltage requirements found in the Pin Reports

The Endpoint Verify Report is an interactive HTML page with a Tab for each Device and a row for each Device Pin. Fuzzy Logic is used to score the Net Name to Pin Name match. Powerful filtering and sorting enable quick focused validation

Each report row can be marked Accepted or rejected and markups can be saved to apply to your next run.
