HyperLynx Signal Integrity Analysis

This course will teach you how to use HyperLynx SI to analyze signal integrity, timing, crosstalk and EMI in pre- and post- layout stages of the design process.

Hands-on lab exercises will reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

• Create and simulate LineSim free-form schematics
• Investigate termination strategies
• Investigate stack-up strategies
• Translate design databases
• Identify and debug SI and Crosstalk issues
• Simulate EMC and evaluate the results
• Assign models and component values
• Evaluate SI and Crosstalk issues
• Translate PCB layout databases
• Run BoardSim simulations interactively and in batch mode
• Run BoardSim for both single and multi-board projects
• Evaluate batch mode simulation reports to identify potential problems
• Run Sweep analysis and explore a solution space

Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using HyperLynx software. Hands-on lab topics include:

• LineSim free-form schematic creation, editing stack-up, assignment of models and component values
• Compare theoretical values with simulation results
• Manual and automatic waveform measurements of overshoot, flight-time and crosstalk
• Evaluating the effects of different impedance matching strategies, topologies, technologies, and stack-ups in LineSim Sweeping design parameters
• Create and debug IBIS models
• Add model libraries using different methods in BoardSim
• Perform Batch Mode Quick Analysis in BoardSim and review the report
• Perform Batch Mode Detailed Analyses in BoardSim and analyze the reports
• Interactively simulate different scenarios to fix problems in BoardSim
• Document changes made in BoardSim Set up and simulate nets between boards using multi-board projects

• Familiarity with high-speed design concepts
