Cadence Sigrity 2017 Download

    Cadence Design Systems, Inc. has updated of the Sigrity 2017 technologyportfolio, which introduces several key features specifically designed to speedup PCB power and signal integrity signoff. Among the features included in thenewest version of the Cadence Sigrity portfolio are the Allegro PowerTreetopology viewer and editor, which enable designers to quickly assess powerdelivery decisions early in the design cycle.

     The latest release of Sigrity also includes a PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0compliance kit for checking signal integrity compliance with the latest PCIespecification when it is certified later this year.

     The ability to accelerate PCB power and signal integrity signoff is notonly critical for designing standalone circuit boards, but is also an importantelement for designing complete end products. Sigrity 2017 is one of Cadence'sSystem Design Enablement technologies helping companies to create innovative,high-quality electronic products from chips, to boards, to entire systems.

     Determining the path for power delivery early in the design cycle iscritical to PCB design teams. The PowerTree user interface uniquely allows fora power topology to be viewed for quick and accurate determination of the bestpath for power delivery. The technology also allows for easy editing as designschange. The information stored in the PowerTree environment is then used laterin the design cycle to provide automated setup of post-route power integrityanalysis for faster closure.

     Also included in the Sigrity 2017 release is library management forpower integrity models through the analysis model manager. Models can be savedand automatically retrieved from the analysis model manager library when designcomponents are reused. This method also speeds development by automatingprocesses that in the past have been repeatedly carried out manually.

The Sigrity 2017 release also helps designers incorporate the latestPCIe technology for high-speed interconnect as they work to ensure signalintegrity. It includes a compliance kit for PCIe 4.0 interfaces in the SigritySystemSI Serial Link Analysis tool to automatically qualify signal qualitystandards instead of manually checking and measuring against standardsdocuments.
