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. High-speed PCBs vary greatly in size, layer count, routing density, signaling speed, types of silicon used, and power-delivery challenges. “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 “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. Spanning a wide range of underlying simulation engines and a graphical user interface (GUI) that supports both quick/interactive and exhaustive batch-mode analysis, the HyperLynx product now sets a new standard for deployment of high-speed capabilities in one easy-to-use environment. Based on the popular HyperLynx signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI) application, this product for the first time offers designers a complete set of analysis technology sufficient for designing any type of high-speed digital printed circuit board (PCB). WILSONVILLE, Ore., ApMentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced its newest HyperLynx® release which integrates signal and power integrity analysis, 3D-electromagnetic solving, and fast rule checking into a single unified environment.
