'You've got EM radiation': Sigrity SI tool available as beta.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , CA -- Sigrity Inc. has released co-simulation software capable of advanced analysis capabilities for high-speed PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. and IC package design. SPEED2000 performs full-wave EM simulation, for analyzing power delivery systems and signal integrity in high-density IC packages and high-speed PCBs. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Sigrity (sigrity.com), the tool characterizes and optimizes the effectiveness of power and ground planes and distributed decoupling capacitors A decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple one part of an electrical network (circuit) from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit. ; avoids self-resonance in or between circuits, packages and boards; identifies and minimizes the effects of signal return path discontinuitines and simultaneous switching noise; and predicts EM radiation from packages and boards. The software is integrated with Synopsys' HSPICE circuit simulator. for signal integrity analysis of PCBs. packages and IC devices. The tool is available as a beta release See beta version. and general availability Is expected by the end of March. Edited by Mike Buetow |
