HyperLynx

OVERVIEW

The HyperLynx suite of tools eliminates signal integrity, crosstalk, and EMC problems early in the design cycle—enabling you to verify your layout before manufacturing. These simulation tools come ready to use in virtually any design flow and offer unprecedented ease-of-use.



HyperLynx combines ease of use with automated workflows to make high-speed design analysis accessible to mainstream system designers. This allows problems to be identified and resolved early in the design cycle. HyperLynx works with multiple PCB tools and is an ideal addition to any PCB design flow.



Hyperlynx



HyperLynx is a complete family of analysis tools for high-speed electronic design including Electrical Design Rule Checking (DRC/ERC), Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), with integrated 2D/2.5D/3D Electromagnetic Modeling (3D EM). HyperLynx lets you discover and correct problems earlier in your design cycle using advanced simulation techniques to predict how your design will behave. Pre-route design simulation lets you explore alternatives to make informed design decisions, while post-route verification lets you perform detailed sign-off analysis before committing a design to fabrication. Increase your chance of first-pass design success by using HyperLynx to optimize your design’s performance and reliability.

HyperLynx Full-Wave Solver

Solves small, critical structures up to very high frequencies, typically for SerDes channels. Solver jobs can be distributed across all the cores in a computer and across multiple machines.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Shorten time to market by identifying SI problems early and helping to eliminating PCB re-spins
  • Improved EMC performance leading to faster EMC compliance approval
  • Reduced costs due to reduced layer count and removal of unnecessary terminations.
  • Risk reduction with better quality products, integration with all major CAD flows, and ease of use


Studies have shown that saving two PCB re-spins will typically recoup the cost of the HyperLynx tool. For companies designing a reasonable number of high speed boards the return on investment could be as little as three months.
