Signal Integrity Design, Simulation, & Analysis

HyperLynx® Signal Integrity enables engineers to quickly and accurately analyze and eliminate signal integrity problems early in the design cycle. HyperLynx Signal Integrity comes ready to use in virtually any PCB design flow and offers unprecedented time-to-results, improving productivity, reducing development and product costs, and increasing product performance.

Signal Integrity

Signal integrity (SI) analysis is an essential part of modern electronic design. Increasingly fast edge rates in today’s integrated circuits (ICs) cause detrimental high-speed effects, even in PCB designs running at low operating frequencies. As ICs’ switching speed increases, printed circuit boards suffer SI problems, such as signal degradation, timing changes in DDR designs, and BER issues in SERDES channel designs. Without proper SI analysis to correct these defects in a design, a board can fail working in a required system.

Hardware engineers, PCB designers and signal integrity specialists alike can use HyperLynx as a team; getting simulation results without requiring weeks of software training. The emphasis is on getting designs right the first time, avoiding costly overdesign, and saving recurrent layout, prototype and test cycles in the lab.
