Keysight introduces signal integrity simulation software for hardware engineers
Summary
As a result, hardware engineers have difficulty predicting how much analysis time it will take to find errors or performance issues in the design. As a stand-alone software product, EP-Scan performs EM simulation on signal nets and reports SI metrics such as channel return and insertion loss. In addition, EP-Scan automates performance comparisons between different versions of a design and generates simulation reports that expedite verification prior to building expensive physical prototypes. "Our goal with EP-Scan is to shift left the PCB design verification process by using early simulation to detect and correct errors, giving hardware designers the confidence to move forward and obtain first pass success," said Tim Wang-Lee, Ph.D., Product Marketing Manager at Keysight. "I am proud that EP-Scan is helping engineers to spend more time doing analyses to gain insights, documenting results to track progress, and automating routine tests.
