Design, simulation, testing, and measurement examples:
Examples
Pre-Layout Design
-
- Careful design in the pre-layout stage allows to design and produce only what is really needed ! without excess !
- At the end of the pre-layout stage, all the high-speed elements in the channel are designed and ready for layout.
- Proper pre-layout design saves re-designs, additional layouts, and PCB/PKG re-productions.
- Examples :
Post-Layout Analysis
-
- Includes comprehensive simulations (in the frequency and time domain) of the high-speed channels in 3D and 2.5D tools.
- At the end of the post-layout stage, all the high-speed channels and the PDNs need to meet the required compliance standard/vendor spec.
- Examples :
Proof of Design (POD)
-
- At this stage, the design is confirmed by measurements to meet the compliance standard requirements.
