The InfoPad is a portable, wireless computer aimed at an approximate selling price of $300. It provides text and graphics, pen input, limited speech input, Fipn (j.2Z The InfoPad~a wireless "information appliance" (see <www.ua.bwu.be keJey.edu». >zhe InfoPad Wlill a large collaborative project, and particu.lar acknowledgmenu are made to the following colleagues: Professor Robert Brodersen,Professor Jan Rabaey, Dr. Frank Wang, Brian Richards, Susan MeYers, and many students at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center. 268 Computer Manufacturing Chap. 6 audio output, and full-motion color video. In a restricted classroom or home envi- ronment it can be used as a mobile communication device and a sketch pad (Brodersen, 1997). Twenty prototypes were produced as evaluation kits for mar- keting purposes and user testing in a college classroom. 6.8.2 Goals of the Case Study Some key points that may be learned in the case study include the following: • Designing and fabricating a complex system like the InfoPad require collabo- ration between many engineering disciplines. Specifically, most consumer elec- tronic products are electromechanical systems. They consist of mechanical components such as structures, enclosures, and mechanisms, combined with electrical components such as printed circuit boards, power supplies, wires (harnesses), and switches. In spite of the advancements within each field- namely, the electrical CAD tools (BCAD) shown in Figure 5.9 and the mechanical CAD tools (MCAD) shown in Table 3.2-a gap still exists today for good communication between BCAD and MCAD. The cartoon of Figure 6.23 captures this struggle . • An environment called the domain unified computer aided design environ- ment (DUCADE) has thus been developed to address this need. It is a con- current engineering system for ECADIMCAD. The links from (a) conceptual design to (b) detail design to (c) fabrication are smooth and deterministic, cre- ating a fast link from the initial design to a fabricated product. This integration improves product quality and time-to-market. Flpre 6.13 DUCADE has the goal of reducing the wall between ECAD and MCAD. 6.8 Case Study on Computer Manufacturing 269 • A specific focus is on constraint resolution between electrical and mechanical issues.A central virtual-white-board environment is created to share and com- municate coupled design issues during the design process. • Various electrical and mechanical subsystems can be designed for modularity and reused in successive design generations. This further accelerates the design to production time. 6.8.3 Conceptual Design The conceptual design phase of the InfoPad involved a functional requirement tree. Figure 6.24 is a global overview of the product design space. Design constraints were specified for each functional requirement as hard (cannot be changed) or soft (can be changed) constraints. For example, a hard design constraint was the desired weight of less than 2 pounds, under the functional requirement of "portable." 6.8.4 Concurrent Detailed Design Using DUCADE The detailed designs for the InfoPad subsystems were conducted by various design teams. These included the pad group, the wireless communication (radios) group, the multimedia network group, the user interface group, and the mechanical design group. Each group used its own domain design tools to perform specific design tasks. However, at certain critical junctures. predetermined design data within each team's domain were shared with other teams in a collaborative way. For example, Figure 6.25 illustrates the collaboration between the "pad group" and "mechanical design group." The PCB of the pad was designed using the Racal PCB layout tools, and the InfoPad casing was designed using the MSCI ARIES mechanical design package. The domain unified computer aided design environment (DUCADE) then provided concurrent access to all the design tools of each team. Importantly, at crit- ical junctures. it specifically provided online checking and verification of the design issues that were predetermined as being coupled between design teams. Commercial CAD packages that were encapsulated in the DUCADE system included four MCAD packages and two ECAD packages: MSC/ARIES, 4 AutoCAD, 5 ProEngineer,6 ACIS, 7 Finesse, 8 and RacaWisula. 9 ARIES and AutoCADI ProEngineer were primarily used for mechanical component design and mechanical analyses such as interference and thermal analyses. ACIS was the solid modeling kernel and package for solid modeling. Racal/ Visula was the major electrical design tool for PCB layout design. 4MSCIARIESTMis a trademark of MacNeal Schwendler Corporation. 5AlltocADTh< is a trademark of Autodesk Inc. 6ProEngineerTl.t is a trademark of Parametric Technology Corporation. 7ACISn< is a trademark of Spatial Technology Inc. 8Finesse™ is a trademark of Harris EDA Inc. ~calIV'ISUalTM is a trademark of Racal-Redac. 270 Computer Manufacturing Chap. 6 Flcure 6.24 Design architecture of the InfoPad system.

For clarity, only one arrow is shown for the coupling rela- tionship between the locations/orientations of the electronic components and the enclosure's shape. This coupling relationship usually required iterative design tasks with close communication between mechanical and electrical designers to achieve compact packaging. Because the lnfoPad wasdesigned to be alow-power device,many constraints focused on the compact packaging of ICs,devices, and displays. 6.8.6 Coupling Constraints Originating in the Mechanical Domain IC , J Several constraints originated on the "mechanical side" and had to be accommo- dated on the "electrical side."They are given the symbol em:> e They were as follows: • Given the 8 x 11 x 1 format-deliberately chosen to mimic the familiar engi- neers' clipboard the available space inside the terminal enclosure was lim- ited. It thus impacted the available area as well as the height for the display and the PCBs and their components.

To display these fOTthe electrical designers, DUCADE provided a simple "lay- ered" view of the (em> •.,) mechanical constraints. This was because the electrical design teams were familiar with 2.5~D layout tools (rather than 3-D tools) for ICs and PCBs. Figure 6.27shows the internal layout of the bottom casing.
