  1. Signal-Integrity EDA tools at CERN 3 July 2013

  2. Signal-Integrity at CERN • Many “signal-integrity” tools at CERN • Field solvers, circuit simulators etc. already at CERN • Field solvers, circuit simulators etc. supported at CERN • Other interesting tools PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  3. ANSYS (ex-Ansoft) • Presently most complete suite of CERN tools • Designer • HFSS • SI Wave • Nexxim • TPA • Via Wizard • PI Advisor • Tools well-integrated e.g. use output of circuit simulator to drive PCB trace extracted using HFSS PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  4. ANSYS PI Advisor Automating decoupling capacitor selection, placement and optimization for printed circuit boards and IC packages. Input target impedance, capacitor choice. Evaluated at CERN PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  5. CST • Microwave Studio (3D EM solver) • PCB Studio – not available at CERN PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  6. Mentor • Hyperlynx – not supported at CERN • Ease of use • Does not handle split planes • 3D solver available PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  7. Altium • Pre-layout, post-layout analyses. • Not considered one of strongest tools PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  8. Cadence • SpectraQuest and other SI-oriented tools for many years • Acquired Sigrity, July 2012 • Power integrity, AC/DC analysis, capacitor placement, electrical/thermal • SigritySystemSI • Quickly implement parallel bus and serial link interfaces. Automated chip-to-chip signal integrity analysis, in two configurations for robust implementation of parallel bus and serial link interfaces. • Sigrity™ SPEED2000™ technology is the first and only commercially available tool for performing transient simulation of an entire IC package and/or board design. These simulations can incorporate IBIS models. SPEED2000 combines circuit and transmission line simulations with a fast, special-purpose full-wave electromagnetic field solver that computes dynamic interactions within IC package and board structures. Unique to SPEED2000 is its ability to perform a broad range of signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI) studies in a single step. SPEED2000 identifies package and board resonance and radiation harmonics, and it can be used to analyze interconnect discontinuities. SPEED2000 is designed for use with popular chip-package-board design flows. PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans

  9. Other • COMSOL – not generally available • AWR Microwave Office. RF circuit simulator but now with optional EM solvers • Agilent ADS. Widely used in industry for RF circuit simulation. Now with optional EM solvers and targeting SI problems. Possibly interesting links with measuring instruments? • Training? PH-ESE SI/PI Workshop - J. Evans
