High-speed design and signal integrity
workshop
Ansoft UK will hold its High-Speed Design Forum on Tuesday 3 October, at its office in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
With many high-speed designs now operating over 1Gbps and even 10Gbps, simulating the electrical effect of 3D structures, such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), interconnects and packages, has never been so important The effects associated with high clock speeds, including signal integrity, cross-talk and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), can cause a design re-spin to fail if accurate simulation is not performed

IC packaging partnership proves a success
IC packaging leader Advanced Semiconductor Engineering has announced its commitment to Ansoft's HFSS, Q3D Extractor and AnsoftLinks simulation products for IC packaging design and model extraction.
This specialist workshop is designed to show how these effects may be simulated, enabling designs to be corrected or verified before manufacture.
Many signal-integrity-analysis tools simulate only in two dimensions, but Ansoft's core competence is the 3D electrical analysis that is necessary for high-speed components to be accurately characterised.
During the workshop, Ansoft developers will demonstrate how engineers can use software tools to rigorously solve PCBs, interconnects and packages.
Workshops covering the full range of HF simulation tools are scheduled to take place in Cork on 24 October, Cambridge on 21 November and Bristol on 5 December.
