As
signal speeds increase, the quality and
integrity of the PCB layout becomes
increasingly critical for optimizing the
performance of the system. Simulation
and analysis can help to avoid the painful
hours of debug in a lab to find the source
of bit errors, when you determine you have a
noise problem. At the same time, SI
simulation can prove to be time consuming
and expensive.
With our extensive experience in SI, we’ll
work with you at the beginning of the design
to mutually determine the practical level of
simulation required for your specific board,
to mitigate the risk. We find that in most
cases, appropriate SI CAD guidelines,
combined with simulation of just a few
critical interfaces, is the optimal
approach. Then we support the layout process
real-time to solve any routability vs.
performance issues
before they have a chance to affect
schedule and cost.
This focused approach to signal
integrity analysis affords you the most
efficient and cost effective use of time and
your money!
Freedom CAD’s SI experts have years of
experience in pre-design and post-design
verification and analysis. This
experience and expertise, combined with
powerful state-of-the-art software, helps
ensure that your design will work the way
you expect it to the first time and all the
time. Below is a list of some of the
services we provide although we can
customize services to meet your unique
needs.
