Serial Link Designer
Analyze PCB designs for serial link applications
Description
The Serial Link Designer app analyzes PCB designs for serial link applications for both pre-layout and post-layout simulations. To perform post-layout analysis, you need license to RF PCB Toolbox™.
Using pre-layout analysis, you can run simulations using IBIS-AMI models with models of your system channels to determine equalization gamut, plot IBIS Statistical and Time Domain eye diagrams at a specified BER, measure channel response characteristics vs. specification masks, as well as perform crosstalk analysis. The pre-layout analysis environment can help you to generate design guidelines for board layouts, package layouts, connectors, and cabling. The post-layout environment verifies the actual layout against design guidelines or specification rules provided in a signal integrity kit.
