Signal Integrity, EMC, EMI - HyperLynx™

In the world of high-speed digital design, Signal Integrity (SI) has become a critical issue, and is posing increasing challenges to Design Engineers and PCB Designers alike. This addresses two concerns in electrical design – the timing and the quality of a signal. The aim of SI analysis is to ensure reliable high speed data transmission.

Advances in high performance microprocessors and super fast networks necessitate high performance packages. SI is one of the most important factors to be considered when integrating these packages together.

Comprehensive and in-depth pre-route SI analysis will cut down the redesign efforts and iterations, eventually reducing the design cycle. When SI analysis is thoroughly implemented throughout the design process a reliable system can be achieved.

PCD uses the leading EDA tool, HyperLynx™ GHz, to provide design verification, pre-route and even pre-schematic simulation and post-route analysis. PCB users are provided with feedback to help eliminate crosstalk, and recommend strategies such as single and parallel termination.

Designs can be analysed at almost any stage, ensuring that all constraints are met.

The HyperLynx™ GHz High-speed suite of tools can be used in your design flow to analyze signal integrity, eliminate crosstalk, and detect EMC problems early, allowing you to "get it right first time."
