 (cadence.com) in November rolled out a tool for managing signal integrity analysis on high-speed PCBs. The company is aiming SPECCTRAQuest EE at front-end PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

In announcing the product, Cadence said the number of constrained con·strain

 nets on a typical high-speed board design has jumped from 25% to 75% of the total nets. "We often see that with differing design environments and multigigabit data rates, new device simulation and implementation onto a PCB can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process," Charlie Giorgetti, corporate vice president and general manager of the silicon-package-board business unit at Cadence, said in a statement. The new methodology is said to enable electrical engineers This is a list of electrical engineers, people who made contributions to electrical engineering or computer engineering.

 to bypass SI engineers in managing and analyzing constraints for what the company calls the "not-so-critical nets."

SPECCTRAQuest EE includes a pair of simulation tools--Constraint Manager and SigXplorer--and is integrated with Cadence's high-speed-design flow.
