Defining constraints and network topologies during the pre-layout stage is essential to ensure an optimized design and minimize errors. The Zuken CR-8000 facilitates this process with advanced schematic tools for managing high-speed constraints and topologies. It also incorporates comprehensive simulation features for analyzing analog circuits and signal integrity, laying a robust groundwork for successful physical design implementation.
Zuken’s CR-8000 PCB design platform offers comprehensive simulation capabilities across time and frequency domains, including Time-Domain Reflectometry and eye-pattern analysis. It supports formats such as IBIS (including ibs, ebd, and pkg files), IBIS-AMI, and Touchstone 2 for S-parameters. The system also accommodates lossy transmission line modeling and SPICE models, ensuring versatile and detailed circuit analysis.
Zuken CR-8000 offers comprehensive statistical and bit-by-bit IBIS-AMI simulations for optimizing gigabit SERDES channels.
The analysis includes the characterization of serial connections with S-parameters, transfer function, and impulse response. BER (Bit Error Rate) calculations with eye patterns and bathtub curves.
An AC Analysis is essential, which includes performing PI (Power Integrity) analysis within the alternating current range. This ensures that power delivery is managed efficiently across the frequency spectrum. Furthermore, the efficiency of decoupling capacitors is evaluated to mitigate any unwanted noise and maintain signal integrity. Parametric studies are also conducted using virtual blocking capacitors, which serve as an investigative tool to model and understand the behavior of circuits without the need for physical prototypes.
DC Analysis assesses the voltage drop and current density, as these factors indicate the overall health and efficiency of the power distribution network.
Additionally, pinpointing voltage dips on IC (Integrated Circuit) supply pins is vital for maintaining the performance of electronic devices, as such dips can lead to malfunctions or instability.
Determining the DC resistance between active components is imperative to ensure that the power is distributed with minimal losses, which optimizes the system’s performance and longevity.
Leverage advanced diagnostic tools to swiftly identify potential Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Signal Integrity (SI), and Power Integrity (PE) issues, along with typical design flaws. Conduct efficient EMI checks, visually analyze crosstalk in Input/Output (I/O) signals, and evaluate the impact of unintended emissions. Investigate the effects of parasitic antenna structures and swiftly pinpoint areas of Power Integrity non-compliance on circuit boards. These processes ensure robust design and reliable performance in electronic systems.
The top-tier multi-physics analysis software now boasts seamless export/import features, supporting various industry-standard file formats, including ANSYS EDB/ANF and Keysight ABL/IFF. With the ability to handle formats such as IPC-2581 and ODB++, the software ensures a smooth transition and data integration across different platforms, enhancing efficiency and interoperability in engineering workflows.
