Last week we released the official version of HyperLynx 8.1. If you've been a beta tester (I know there are a lot of you out there), make sure you go to SupportNet and get this latest release!
This release includes new technology in both HyperLynx SI and PI. Some key things in the release worth taking a look at if you haven't been beta testing:
- Tons of new capabilities in HyperLynx PI but the most significant of these is post route decoupling analysis and plane noise simulation
- Significant new technology for SERDES analysis that includes native support for IBIS-AMI, the new algorithmic modeling standard for handling things like pre-emphasis and equalization
- Cool 3D visualization capabilities for eye diagram analysis that will captivate anyone's attention
- DDRx Wizard supports new architectures for LPDDR and registered DIMMs
That's just a few of the things you'll find in HyperLynx 8.1. Check out the release hightlights on the SupportNet site to find out more!
About Steve McKinney
I've always been enamored with how things work from a very young age (I can see it in my daughter too who is only about a year old). I tend to dive into new things I find interesting and immerse myself in as much information as possible (where would we be without the internet!? Thank you Al Gore!....or should I say Tim Berners-Lee). I also love new gadgets (who doesn't!) and seeing what the latest/greatest innovations are.
Hopefully this blog shares some of that excitement I have for technology and gives you a place to learn and maybe laugh a little bit along the way.
If you want the business side of me, I graduated from North Carolina State University (Go Wolfpack!!) with an MSEE in RF and Microwave circuit design and am currently working for Mentor Graphics where I hold the role of Business Development Manager for Mentor's PCB Analysis products. Prior to this role, I was a Technical Marketing Engineer with Mentor, a Signal Integrity engineer at Dell, and a hardware designer at LVL7 Systems.
