NetBom

Interactive Net List Verification and Analysis

Ship Your Hardware with Confidence

  • Provides unprecedented visibility into design Net Lists and BOMs

  • Compare design revisions with our Interactive checklists

  • Assess real time part availability with Octopart API Integration

  • Validate Power Rail Connections and Decoupling

  • Verify FPGAs, ASIC, and Connectors connections in your Board/NetList

  • Explore Power, Diff Pair, and XNETs with Graphical Net Trace

  • Cross Probe from reports to Parts and Pins in Cadence® Schematics and PCB

  • Validate System Capture migration from Allegro DE-HDL & Capture

 

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:

  • PCB to Schematic

  • PCB to Netlist

  • PCB to BOM

  • BOM to BOM

  • NetList to NetList

  • NetList to BOM

  • Schematic to Netlist

  • Schematic to BOM

  • Verify Migration to Cadence System Capture

 

Document Net List and BOM Changes

  • Creates Interactive BOM and NetList Change Checklists

  • Click on a Summary to see the detailed Report Below

  • Detailed reports can be marked up and shared with other users

  • Creates a Netlist Difference Spreadsheet with a detailed worksheet for each category

  • Creates BOM Difference Spreadsheet with detailed worksheet for each category

 

Identify Supply Chain Issues with Octopart API

Now more than ever, when every part in the 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

 

Explore Connectivity with Graphical Net Tracing

  • Validate extended nets extracted from Schematics, NetLists or PCBs

    • End to End net connections logically displayed on one page

    • Provides detailed Part and Pin properties for each endpoint

    • Explore both ends of a Diff Pair

    • Trace power nets through filters to loads and decoupling

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

  • Export Views to PDF for documentation

  • Cross Probe to Net Endpoints in Schematic or PCB

 

Validate Power Rail Capacitance

Detailed reports of all power rails in the input Designs

  • Checks every Capacitor in your design and flags overvoltage

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

  • Edit Rail Voltages

  • Edit Capacitor Derating Settings for Voltage and Value

  • Open Graphical Net Trace for selected Power rail

  • Cross Probe to Selected Capacitors in Schematic or PCB

 

Verify Device Pinouts and Board to Board Connections

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

 


Interactive Net List and BOM Reports

NetBom Builds Interactive Net List and BOM reports enabling the user to explore and verify their design.

  • Filter and Sort Parts and Nets using any column data

  • Net/Part Voltage is extracted from Properties NetNames or descriptions

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

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

  • Select Nets to view with Graphical Net Trace.

  • Octopart Report identifies critical part shortages

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