Once the domain of the high-speed design specialist, the challenge of designing for signal integrity has moved into the mainstream. With ever-shrinking device technology comes faster switching speeds. Board interconnects move from playing an insignificant role, to being an operational part of the circuit.
Based on a fast reflection and crosstalk simulator model, the analyzer engine produces accurate simulations using industry-proven algorithms. And because Altium Designer uses a single, unified model of the design data, you can perform a signal integrity analysis from the early schematic capture stage of the design process, right through to the completed board layout.
Once problem nets have been identified, explore a variety of potential termination solutions before committing to a solution. Select from a variety of serial and parallel termination combinations, then sweep those theoretical termination components over a range of values to quickly arrive at the optimal termination solution. Right-click to place the appropriate components on the schematic, synchronize them through to the PCB layout and your design is up-to-date, ready for further analysis.
