SIGNAL INTEGRITY
The eCADSTAR Signal Integrity and eCADSTAR Signal Integrity Advanced modules add sophisticated Signal Integrity Analysis capabilities to eCADSTAR. These allow for simulation in the Schematic (pre-layout SI) as well as in the PCB Layout (post-layout SI). Simulation is consistent, intuitive and easy to use throughout the eCADSTAR design process. Results are displayed in the same results viewer regardless of where the simulation is initiated.
- Planning and realization of impedance controlled PCBs in the eCADSTAR design process (through integrated fieldsolver) avoiding the need of external tools for impedance control (and potential transmission errors).
- Constrain and plan topologies (routing order/pin sequence) of your high-speed signals, avoiding reflections, over-engineering, and excess power consumption.
- Check signal integrity to ensure that the appropriate signal quality and timing requirements (e.g. fast DDRx memory module) are met.
- Browse and share (by import and export) of simulation models across different designs and users.
