Available as add-on to Advanced Design System 2014, Controlled Impedance Line Designer accurately optimizes stack up and line geometry for multigigabit-per-second chip-to-chip links, using most relevant metric. Program lets engineers see set of post-equalization eye openings that result from sweeping through pre-layout design parameters. To ensure accurate calculation of transmission line characteristics, software automatically employs cross-sectional (2D) electromagnetic field solver.
