Virtual interconnect exploration and simulation
Allegro Package SI offers powerful simulation for source synchronous and serial interfaces. The embedded 3D field solver resolves electrical issues early and performs extensive post-layout debugging.
Cadence® Allegro® Package SI performs direct read/write to the design database to achieve accurate prototyping without time-consuming setup, and directly incorporates the results. By providing key indicators early in the design process, it helps engineers make difficult tradeoff decisions. A graphical topology simulator/editor allows engineers to compare different electrical routing strategies, optimize design rules, and develop S-Parameter models. Adding a partner-supplied Apache Design Solutions 3D field solver provides accurate extraction. Allegro Package SI can also be used as a plug-in for chip/package IR drop analysis when used in conjunction with VoltageStorm® Power Verification.
