ABOUT INTERCEPT
Intercept Technology Inc. is a privately held electronic systems design and software development corporation based in Atlanta, Georgia. Established in 1983, Intercept initially provided engineering research and development to government and industry in communications, signal processing, microelectronics, and electronic system design, including printed circuit board design and fabrication. As a consulting firm, Intercept developed an IPC-D-350 artwork interface for Mentor Graphics® and continued to develop other applications, including Import Gerber/IPC, a reverse engineering application that converts Gerber or IPC-D-350 artwork files into intelligent PCB design databases.

Development of Pantheon, Intercept's high technology PCB/Hybrid/MCM design software, began in the mid-1990s. Development of Mozaix, Intercept's advanced schematic application, began in the late 1990s, with release for Q3 2000. As an electronic design automation company, Intercept currently develops the high technology software design applications necessary to create printed circuit boards, hybrids, and multi-chip modules.

COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
Intercept's philosophy is to be dynamic by moving forward. As an engineering and technology driven, customer-oriented company, Intercept strives to offer high-technology, advanced design applications with the flexibility users need, such as offering the same quality software across both Unix and Windows platforms. Using a rapid software release cycle, Intercept quickly incorporates user-suggested features and ideas, allowing all users to benefit from the increased productivity of the software. Instead of waiting months or years for the latest software enhancements, Intercept customers quickly receive the latest in user requested enhancements and design technology.

INTERCEPT PCB PRODUCTS From MOZAIX's advanced schematic features to the high technology available in the PANTHEON PCB / Hybrid / MCM application, Intercept offers a complete PCB design solution.

PANTHEON PANTHEON is Intercept's highly-advanced PCB / Hybrid / MCM design application. You can read schematic information into Pantheon from Mozaix and then create a complex design with Pantheon's interactive features and double-verification process.

MOZAIX MOZAIX, Intercept's high performance schematic capture application for rapid design entry, is a single top-down and bottom-up hierarchical design application. User-friendly and intuitive, MOZAIX allows you to create and manage professional schematics in a single, integrated application.

INDX LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Intercept's new library management system, INDX enables businesses to transition multiple libraries to a common format. With INDX, you can also create a new library which reflects a consistent standard for symbols, geometries, and part map descriptions through a documented ESPEC.

INDX SYMBOL GENERATOR Intercept's INDX Symbol Generator provides a rapid development interface for creating symbols in Mozaix. Librarians set up symbology standards for multiple symbol classes, including rules for body graphics, as well as body and pin properties. Based on the rules for a chosen class, the librarian generates a symbol of scalable pin counts.

INDX GEOMETRY GENERATOR The INDX Geometry Generator facilitates rapid creation of component, pin, and pad geometries in Pantheon. Librarians use the Generator to set up standards for multiple geometry classes, such as SIP, DIP, QFP, etc., and then quickly produce geometries of varying pin counts for each defined class.

PALINDROME A one-of-a-kind reverse-engineering product, PALINDROME allows a layout-driven design to back annotate PCB changes and additions to the schematic. PALINDROME works with MOZAIX and PANTHEON to compare schematic and PCB databases, providing valuable part-discrepancy data for RF engineers and PCB designers.

INTERFACES Intercept offers many schematic, autorouter, high speed, and RF interfaces to keep the design process flexible and easy. If you don't see the interface you're looking for, we'll quickly create one for you.

CAD TRANSLATORS Intercept offers more than 17 CAD translators that convert third-party databases into the Pantheon database format. We can create additional translators on demand.
