Design Exploration and Report Generation with Smart Eye Probe.
SerDes PCIe Gen 6 reference channel model.
Signal Integrity
Getting simulation models from silicon/chip vendors can be challenging. Jump start your design with standard-specific Transmitter/Receiver models, and reference channel models. Replace the standards-based models with your actual silicon vendor models to improve the quality of your digital twin. New features include:
- AMI Modelers for PCIe Gen 5/6, USB4, and Ethernet which uniquely provide a compete reference channel digital twin to obtain a more realistic simulation faster.
Power Integrity
PathWave ADS with PIPro EM for power integrity provides an integrated engineering environment for end-to-end PI ecosystem simulations. Automation makes it easy to go from PCB EM simulations for DC IR Drop, AC Impedance, and conducted EMI to a digital twin schematic for post-layout optimization and hardware debugging. Highlights include:
- Explore conducted and radiated EMI for a dynamic switching regulator using the CISPR 25 standard setup
- Try out DC IR Drop with a cascade of regulators to investigate multiple power rails in one simulation
- Use AC EM models to optimize decoupling capacitors for high-power multiphase regulator PDNs and then investigate the results with an EMI analysis
