Pre-Route Analysis
This short video highlights how to utilize HyperLynx LineSim to discover and fix signal integrity issues as demonstrated in Shivani Joshi's unique webinar presentation, "Your PCB Designs Need SI Analysis & You Don’t Need to be an Expert!"
Post-Route Verification
This short video highlights how to utilize HyperLynx BoardSim to discover and fix signal integrity issues. Including running the general batch wizard, including crosstalk analysis.
Fast, rules-based electrical design verification
HyperLynx DRC provides fast, automated electrical design rule checking and supports iterative design inspection, nicely integrated with PADS Professional. Designers can run complex checks for problems that are not easily simulated, such as traces crossing splits, signal return path issues, and compliance with electrical safety requirements.
