Modeling PCB parasitics for analog /mixed-signal simulation

PCB parasitics can be a crucial factor in modern analog / mixed-signal designs, but their effects on circuit behavior are usually ignored during design simulations. This can result in designs that miss their performance targets or have to be manually tuned after manufacture.

Integration between Xpedition AMS and HyperLynx Advanced 3D EM Solvers allows PCB parasitics to be accurately modeled and included in AMS simulations before PCB fabout, so that design adjustments can be made quickly and accurately, greatly increasing chances of first-pass design success.

What you will learn

In this video, the engineer gives a demonstration on how to:

• Run the simulation with the ideal components and then extract the parasitics to show how easy the integration is
• Do a comparison with the ideal simulation versus the simulation with the parasitics on board
