Autorouter

02/01/2000

The BGA Route Wizard is an autorouter for PADS Software`s PowerBGA solution for advanced package design. A wizard-based automatic router for single die advanced packages, it is designed to serve as a cost-effective tool for solving package routing problems. The machine reportedly enables an engineer to quickly determine package feasibility based on the die and a set of technology rules. Once feasibility is established, the same tool completes the design with automatic routing optimized to manufacturing needs. It provides functionality for specialized autorouting design automation in four key areas: automated any-angle BGA package routing, automated plating tail generation, automatic BGA package connection generation, and automatic substrate and array pad fanout.
