AEROFLEX MENTOR GRAPHICS DESIGN SYSTEM

The Aeroflex Mentor Graphics Design System software is fully

integrated into the Mentor Graphics design environment,

making it familiar and easy to use. Aeroflex tools support

Mentor functions such as cross-highlighting, graphical menus,

and design navigation.

After creating a design in the Mentor Graphics environment,

you can easily verify the design for electrical rules compliance

with the Aeroflex Logic Rules Checker. Testability can be

verified with the Aeroflex Tester Rules Checker. Both of these

tools are fully integrated into the Mentor Graphics

Environment.

When you have completed all design activities, Aeroflex’s

Design Transfer tool captures all the required files and prepares

them for easy transfer to Aeroflex. Aeroflex uses this data to

convert your design into a packaged and tested device.
