HyperLynx
HyperLynx SI is renowned for its intuitive user interface and extreme ease of use. However, to understand its technical depth, you need to see HyperLynx SI in action.
This ten-part video demonstration provides a guided tour of HyperLynx SI. Each chapter takes an in-depth look at a different signal-integrity challenge, showing you how to run a detailed, step-by-step analysis, identify problems, apply corrections, and validate results.
The entire QuickTour takes 2-1/2 hours, but you can skip around at will.
I/O Designer
I/O Designer is the leading FPGA and PCB integration design automation solution. Discover the ease of design and communication while eliminating the barriers between FPGA and PCB flows and design organizations.
Design Kits
Mentor Graphics has teamed up with several vendors to provide the following design kits and reference designs to accompany industry-leading high-speed design and PCB layout tools.
