Tool suite enhanced for multigigabit speeds

27 August 2003 Design Automation

Mentor Graphics' HyperLynx 7.0 tool is the latest version of its powerful and easy-to-implement tool suite for pre- and post-layout signal integrity (SI) simulation and analysis. The HyperLynx tools address the challenges caused by the increasing clock frequencies of ICs on high-speed digital PCBs that can create degraded digital signals. Compatible with all major PCB layout environments, the HyperLynx 7.0 tool allows PCB hardware designers to predict and eliminate SI, crosstalk and electromagnetic compliance (EMC) errors earlier in the design cycle, eliminating costly layout, prototype and test cycles.

Mentor offers two versions, the HyperLynx EXT tool for mainstream designs with clock frequencies under 500 MHz, and the HyperLynx GHz tool for multigigabit designs. The HyperLynx EXT 7.0 tool includes many new user-requested features, such as new impedance planning technology, the addition of a spreadsheet-based stackup editor, expanded capabilities for differential signals and IBIS enhancements. The HyperLynx GHz 7.0 tool also features support for multigigabit signals, SPICE models and eye diagrams.
