HyperLynx Analog Technical Overview
HyperLynx Analog extends DxDesigner to add analog and mixed-signal circuit simulation to the Expedition Enterprise flow. This enables a smooth design process from schematic capture through set-up, simulation and analysis, back-annotation, to layout.
Benefits
- Scaleable simulation solution to meet different simulation needs
- Shortens the development cycle by providing a common schematic editor for simulation and PCB entry
- Ensures design quality and improves manufacturability through circuit simulation and statistical analysis
- Helps engineers keep up with component changes and new device inclusions by enabling continuous circuit evaluation
- Easy to learn and use, even for the casual user
Features
- Support for industry-standard languages
- Access to advanced simulation capabilities such as noise and stress analysis
- Project browser allows easy access and editing of testbench simulations, including setup, models, files, and results
- Includes proven models, with access to 30,000+ models in external vendor libraries
- Automatic symbol generation allows easy ‘what-if’ model testing prior to library addition
- Able to import and convert existing PSpice libraries
- Syntax-sensitive text editor for easy model editing
- Basic DC, frequency, and time-domain analysis
- Flexible viewing of single or multiple waveforms
- Advanced parametric sweeps and Monte Carlo analysis
- Drag-and-drop symbol creation
- Documentation aides for output graphs and plots
- Comprehensive and interactive waveform post-processing functions
Return on Investment
- Rapid ability to determine proper tolerances prior to layout reduces design marginality and product returns
- The ability to carry out ‘what-if’ analyses eliminates costly prototypes, thus lowering manufacturing costs and reducing waste.
- Easy to learn. Data-centric toolbar, built-in productivity tools, and intuitive GUI guide engineers through the simulation process, ultimately reducing users’ learning curves and accelerating time to productivity
