Signal Integrity Extension overview

Efficiency meets compliance in PCB design

Enhance PCB design with the Signal Integrity Extension, powered by Ansys, which empowers you to simulate critical transmission lines and get insights on impedance, improve performance, accelerate development cycles, and reduce physical testing costs.

Benefits

Here's how this extension can benefit you:

• PCB Trace Impedance matching: Manage and control the impedance for every critical signal throughout your board for an optimal high-speed design performance.
• Signal integrity insights: Analyze your design signals to inspect parameters that characterize high-speed design such as signal delays, trace length, impedance, and coupling.
• Simple configuration: With simple input parameters and configuration, PCB engineers can select signals of interest for quick on-demand analysis.
• Visual violation flagging: Easily and visually identify any potential signal impedance or coupling issues with a superimposed color-coded overlay on your 2D PCB design.
• Automatic calculations: Modifications to the design will automatically trigger a recalculation of the Signal Integrity (SI) trace properties, ensuring up-to-date and accurate data alignment with the revised specifications.
• Reporting: Changes to the layer stackup material and thickness properties will impact the outcomes of the analyzed trace results.
• Coupling: Gain insights into PCB trace coupling by assessing crosstalk. Easily spot problem areas with color-coded visualization.
• Differential Pair Coupling: Check impedance consistency and measure coupling on differential pair traces. Understand and manage crosstalk effects in high-speed digital electronics with ease.
