Mentor Graphics Delivers Next-Generation Board Station Flow.WILSONVILLE, Ore. -- Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), the market leader in printed circuit board (PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. ) design software, today announced the release of Board Station[R] XE, the next-generation version of its Board Station design flow for large, enterprise customers. Board Station XE leverages customers' existing IP (Intellectual Property), such as existing libraries, design data, and design capture infrastructure, while enabling adoption of Mentor's most advanced technologies, including a common environment for layout, routing and manufacturing preparation. This extended design flow is added to the existing, proven capabilities of the Board Station design environment, allowing customers to adopt these new technologies at their own pace. "We've been evaluating Board Station XE for a few months now and really like what we see," said Mick Harvey

"We are particularly looking forward to getting access to the new functionality available so as to shorten design cycle times, improve productivity, reduce production costs and develop PCBs with new functionality, such as embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. passives." Board Station XE offers the advanced productivity design features found in Mentor's AutoActive[R] placement, routing and manufacturing environment in addition to providing tightly integrated access to recently announced innovations such as the Topology Planner/Router and the patented XtremeAR and XtremePCB applications. These design applications, integrated within the flow, provide engineers and designers with unprecedented opportunities to reduce design cycle times, increase productivity, improve product costs and enable local or globally dispersed design teams to effectively collaborate. "The Board Station XE flow provides customers with Mentor's leadership technology while maintaining their ability to use existing libraries, library infrastructure, front-end design tools, and legacy design data," said Henry Potts, vice president and general manager, Systems Design division, Mentor Graphics. "By increasing design efficiency and productivity Board Station XE addresses our customers' most prevalent business drivers of significant reduction in time-to-market and cost." Board Station XE Overview Board Station is the world's leading solution for the design of highly complex PCBs and is the most comprehensive design solution on the market today with a 20-year legacy of designing cutting-edge PCBs. Board Station XE now fits within that same design environment. Like Board Station, Board Station XE leverages the highly successful Board Architect schematic capture schematic capture - The process of entering the logical design of an electronic circuit into a CAE system by creating a schematic representation of components and interconnections. tool and is tightly integrated with Mentor's IP infrastructure, including Library Management System (LMS), DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management. (2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. [TM] (Data Management System), I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Designer[TM] and the Constraint Editor System[TM] (CES). Also integrated in the flow are leading high-speed design and analysis applications, including ICX ICX Inter-Cartridge Exchange ICX Incoming Exchange ICX Intelligence Express ICX Internet College Exchange ICX Internet Content Accelerator Pro[TM], ICX[R], HyperLynx[R] and Quiet[TM] Expert.
