Signal Integrity Analysis with Third-Party Tools
(ODSW1177)
1 Hour
Online Course
Course Description
This training will discuss the need for signal integrity simulation and analysis when designing high-speed PCBs that incorporate FPGA devices. Next, we’ll look at the three types of signal integrity analysis possible in the Quartus® II software v. 6.1. The double counting problem and solution will be discussed, followed by a comparison between IBIS and HSPICE modeling. You will learn about the design flow for signal integrity with third-party tools including the creation and customization of simulation models, running simulations in third-party tools with those models, and the analysis and further use of the simulation results. Finally, you’ll be directed to more sources for information about signal integrity.
At Course Completion
- Configure the Quartus II software to generate IBIS or HSPICE model files.
- Generate the selected model file type.
- Customize the output file(s) for use in simulations.
- Create and run simulations in Mentor Graphics HyperLynx and Synopsys HSPICE, integrating the simulation models generated.
- Make adjustments to improve the results of signal integrity simulations.
- Use simulation results as a guide for designing the PCB.
Prerequisites
We recommend completing the following courses:
Skills Required
- Completion of “Using the Quartus II Software: An Introduction” OR a basic understanding of the FPGA design flow and the Quartus II software
- Basic knowledge of board-level signal integrity issues and design techniques (i.e. signal termination techniques, routing constraints, etc.)
- Familiarity with your third-party board simulation tool of choice
- Mentor Graphics HyperLynx
- Synopsys HSPICE
