Beyond Layout DRC: Comparing Xpedition, HyperLynx, and Valor NPI for Complete PCB Design Validation

 

Join us at this free Expert Series Webinar that provides a practical comparison of the DRC capabilities across Xpedition Layout, HyperLynx, and Valor NPI from Siemens EDA, highlighting their overlapping areas and their unique strengths.

 

 

 

Traditional layout DRC is essential for ensuring PCB designs meet geometric and constraint requirements—but layout checks alone cannot catch every potential issue. Electrical performance risks and manufacturing constraints often require more advanced validation. This webinar provides a practical comparison of the DRC capabilities across Xpedition Layout, HyperLynx, and Valor NPI from Siemens EDA, highlighting their overlapping areas and their unique strengths. Through real design examples and live demonstrations, we will show how HyperLynx and Valor NPI extend validation beyond Xpedition by identifying critical electrical and manufacturing issues that traditional layout DRC may miss. 

 

What You Will Learn:

By attending this webinar, you will learn how to achieve complete PCB design validation by leveraging the complementary DRC capabilities of Xpedition, HyperLynx, and Valor NPI

• Compare the DRC capabilities across Xpedition, HyperLynx, and Valor NPI, including their overlapping areas and specialized roles
• Understand the scope and limitations of traditional layout DRC in Xpedition and why passing layout checks does not always guarantee electrical or manufacturing success
• Understand how to implement a comprehensive, shift-left validation flow to catch errors earlier, reduce costly PCB re-spins, and improve first-pass design success
• Understand the core role of Valor NPI in PCB validation, and how it complements layout DRC from a Design for Manufacturability (DFM) perspective

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is ideal for professionals involved in PCB design, validation, and manufacturing who want to ensure complete design verification using the integrated DRC capabilities

• PCB Layout Engineers
• Signal Integrity and Power Integrity Engineers
• DFM and Manufacturing Engineers
