The new HyperLynx release provides advanced electromagnetic solvers, including full-wave 3D, enabling users to keep pace with increasingly fast SERDES technologies. Meeting the Challenges of New Technologies SERDES technology adoption has greatly increased the frequencies used in digital signaling- even a “mainstream” protocol like PCIe Gen3 runs at 8 Gb/s. Designers who still think of HyperLynx as primarily ‘fast and easy SI’ need to take a serious, fresh look at how dramatically the product has strengthened and matured.” “HyperLynx has long been a widely used high-speed tool in the industry now it’s become the most powerful and best integrated as well. Incorvaia, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics Systems Design Division. “This version of HyperLynx is the culmination of intensive investment by Mentor in its high-speed tools,” stated A.J.
The product now combines a super-fast geometry extraction engine and advanced materials modeling (for wideband dielectrics, copper roughness, etc.) to produce highly accurate simulations.
Mentor has invested heavily in HyperLynx analysis technology, particularly for interconnect modeling. Users can simulate a critical SERDES channel one minute, and then - by selecting a single new menu item - switch to analysis of a large power net’s decoupling. By contrast, the HyperLynx tool now offers 2D/3D signal and power integrity analysis in a single application, with one GUI. Most tool sets offered by a single EDA vendor typically require switching applications and user interfaces for different types of analysis. “With the new, unified HyperLynx environment, we have one flow where we can do everything – a significant advantage.”Īccurate High-Performance Simulators – All in One Environment High-speed PCBs vary greatly in size, layer count, routing density, signaling speed, types of silicon used, and power-delivery challenges. “We have deployed a ‘shift left’ strategy where we perform simulation early in the design process to achieve ‘first time right’ products,” stated Hans Klos, CEO of Sintecs BV, Netherlands.
