Simulation
We use high-performance 3D electromagnetic (EM) and circuit/IBIS-AMI simulation to address signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) challenges in high-speed and RF designs. Typical analyses include impedance control, S-parameters, crosstalk, return loss, PDN impedance, eye diagrams, and jitter across process/voltage/temperature corners.
The Importance of Simulation in System Optimization
Simulation is a vital technique for optimizing processes and entire software operating systems. Through the simulation phase, engineers can either optimize for reliablility or allow potential users to explore the new software before launch.
Simulation ensures the integrity of systems, including signal integrity and power integrity, by detecting areas that need improvement and identifying potential system performance under various conditions, such as heavy user loads.
How Simulation Works
We build a virtual model of your board and evaluate how signals travel, how stable the power delivery is, and—when relevant—how the radio path performs. This reveals issues such as reflections, losses, crosstalk, power noise, and weak wireless links before anything is fabricated.
We translate the results into clear design guidance: layer stack definition, appropriate trace widths and spacing, sensible via strategies, clean return paths, and effective placement of decoupling components.
The outcome is fewer board re-spins, faster bring-up, and a higher likelihood of first-pass compliance—reducing risk, time, and cost.
The Simulation Process at Keytek
New standards require higher data rates and more complex designs. Our simulation process is designed to reduce debugging time and ensure product performance even in a dynamic setting.
We provide a detailed report that includes system requirements, simulation results, and layout guidelines to ensure a comprehensive analysis and successful implementation of signal and power integrity simulations.
