Cadence Sigrity 2016 for win Sigrity 2016 Portfolio Improves Product Creation Time with PCB Design and Analysis Methodology for Multi-Gigabit Interfaces Cadence expanded its Sigrity™ technology portfolio with new products and capabilities: Upgraded serial link analysis flow Optimized design flows Upgraded 3D interconnect modeling Upgraded serial link analysis flow to accelerate the time to pass compliance tests New IBIS-AMI model building technology takes industry-proven equalization algorithms and provides a wizard-based graphical interface to rapidly facilitate creation of IBIS-AMI models. Available in two tiers, one that enables creation of models strictly for Sigrity tools, and another that creates models suitable for any IBIS-AMI compliant simulator. New cut-and-stitch model extraction technology allows for segmenting long serial links into sections that should be modeled using 3D full-wave and sections that can be modeled using hybrid extraction technology. The resultant model is extracted 10X faster than a strictly 3D full-wave extraction with 95% accuracy. New USB 3.1 (Gen 2) compliance kit to confirm that the 10Gbps interface requirements are met.
