Avishtech’s Latest Generation of Its Gauss Stack PCB Stack-Up Design and Simulation Software Features Skew Prediction Capability
Summary
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avishtech (www.avishtech.com), the leading provider of innovative EDA stack-up and 2D field solver solutions, today announced significant enhancements to its Gauss Stack PCB stack-up design and simulation toolset that enable the most accurate prediction and specification possible of the maximum fiber-weave related skew on differential pairs. Often, designers will be using a combination of these and trying to match the widths and spacings to the pitch of the glass, but this technique, rotation and the multiple plies approach may not work for applications focused on increased routing densities. Once the foregoing operations are completed, the product developer clicks a button to do a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation (which is variable and random due to the weave of the fiber) to build a distribution and confidence intervals for the maximum skew on the design’s differential pair. This eliminates the large amounts of time and high NRE costs, not to mention the impracticality, associated with having to build and measure hundreds of differential pairs for each new design. Avishtech’s Gauss line of simulation and design software embodies its long-standing commitment to rigorous and thorough research and development, coupled with its core goal of achieving the highest levels of performance and reliability.
