Mentor Xpedition
Xpedition, from Siemens (Mentor), is an advanced EDA suite for large-scale PCB design, signal integrity, and system-level analysis. It manages complex layer stacks, high-speed routing, and multi-board co-design. A robust constraint engine ensures design rules for high-frequency signals, differential pairs, and via structures. The software’s 3D modeling helps visualize mechanical fits. Integrated verification checks EMC, thermal performance, and manufacturing constraints. Xpedition’s enterprise collaboration features support global design teams. It’s often deployed in automotive, aerospace, and networking sectors demanding complex, dense PCBs with stringent reliability.
