Creepage and clearance

Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions on a work-around about implementing creepage rule into a high voltage design?

I looked at the previous entry (over 14 years ago). It was not very explicit. I was hoping someone may have a better suggestion today.

We use allegro and OrCad.

There is a company in Germany that has a "plug-in" of some sort (NEXTRA). It states it is compatible with Cadence. We are looking at it as well. But was hoping we can do without it.

Thanks in advance.

Vinh.

We do very high voltage designs and still use a manual method. I am not aware of a creepage calculator. Perhaps try drawing a line on a board geometry layer that traces a creepage path and measure it.

I would *love* to have a built-in method from Cadence!
