Danfoss Amplifies PCB Design with Cadence Allegro X AI

Danfoss is a Danish family-owned multinational company with a focus on sustainability. It combines digitalization, innovation, and energy efficiency to create climate solutions for communities and industries. As part of its LEAP 2030 strategy, Danfoss is looking to tap into the full potential of AI, especially for its PCB design flow.

For the Danfoss team, it was a great opportunity to try something new. They explored Allegro X AI, Cadence’s next-generation system design technology that offers transformative time savings for PCB design. A pain point for the team was the placement and routing (P&R), but with the help of Allegro X AI, P&R was greatly simplified for them.

Thanks to Allegro X AI’s user-friendly design, the engineers at Danfoss found it easy to set up and get started. They were able to make much better placement decisions around big ICs, including getting the components really close together, decoupling the layers, and generating the copper for these areas. This resulted in a significant reduction in their turnaround time.
