Pre-Layout Analysis of Serial Link Projects
Analyze serial link projects before designing board layouts
You can run simulations using IBIS-AMI models to determine the system-level noise before designing PCB layouts. The pre-layout analysis environment helps you to generate design guidelines for your board layouts, package layouts, connectors, and cabling.
