Sigrity Announces Accurate Co-Simulation Capabilities for High-Speed Design.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers 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. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2004 SPEED2000's Integration to Synopsys' HSPICE Provides Advanced Analysis of Electromagnetic Effects in IC Packages and PCBs Sigrity, Inc., a market leader in silicon-package-board design analysis solutions, today announced a co-simulation solution to provide advanced analysis capabilities for high-speed printed circuit board (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 integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) package design. Sigrity's SPEED2000 advanced electrical analysis software tool now integrates with Synopsys' HSPICE(R) circuit simulator in a single environment for comprehensive signal-integrity analysis of PCBs, packages and IC devices. Utilizing HSPICE's foundry-certified device models and its advanced encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. technology, board-level designers are now able to develop and deliver state-of-the-art systems with high accuracy. "As a member of our in-Sync(R) program, the work between Sigrity and Synopsys has resulted in tool integration which provides our mutual customers with improved design productivity," said Karen Bartleson, director of interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. at Synopsys. "Synopsys continually builds relationships which optimize tool interoperability and maximize productivity for our customers and their design development." "We are pleased to be working with Synopsys to deliver the best-in-class solution for complex system designs," said Jiayuan Fang, Sigrity founder and president. Availability The SPEED2000 and HSPICE co-simulation solution is available in Beta today to select partners with general availability expected by the end of March 2004. SPEED2000 supports Windows NT/2000/XP platforms. HSPICE supports Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Solaris, HPUX HPUX Hewlett-Packard Unix , and AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) IBM's Unix-based operating system which runs on its Intellistation workstations and pSeries, p5, iSeries and i5 server families. . SPEED2000 and HSPICE can run concurrently on different platforms. SPEED2000 SPEED2000 (Simulation Package for Electrical Evaluation & Design) is a full-wave EM simulation tool used for advanced analysis of power delivery systems and signal integrity in high-density IC packages and high-speed PCBs. The capabilities of SPEED2000 allow for characterizing and optimizing 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. ; the avoidance of self-resonance in or between circuits, packages, and boards; identifying and minimizing the effects of signal return path discontinuities and simultaneous switching noise; and, predicting EM radiation from packages and boards.
