Verifying Serial Channels for SerDes Protocol Compliance
HyperLynx SerDes Compliance Analysis is the next generation in serial link compliance analysis - automatically verifying serial channels for compliance with over 200 different protocols and variants. With HyperLynx Compliance Analysis, you can automatically verify all the serial channels in your design, overnight, without needing to be a signal integrity expert!
Download this paper to learn how an automated post-route verification process with HyperLynx reduces risk by finding problems while the design is still in layout!
Automating post-layout serial link compliance analysis
HyperLynx extracts accurate electrical channel models from
layout, analyzes channels for standards compliance and produces
a comprehensive, interactive report that shows which channels
passed, which channels failed, and by how much. With HyperLynx,
engineers can run automated serial link compliance analysis that
provides accurate 3D electromagnetic modeling and doesn’t
require them to be a signal integrity expert. Performance is
scalable; large runs can be accelerated by running simulations
in parallel to reduce turnaround time. Watch this video to
discover how.
WHITE PAPER: AUTOMATED COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS OF SERIAL LINKS REDUCES
SCHEDULE RISK
Please complete the form to receive the white paper on Automated
compliance analysis of serial links to reduce schedule risk. This
paper discusses an automated post-route verification process with
HyperLynx that can verify all the channels in a design for
detailed compliance with a SerDes protocol standard -
automatically, overnight.
HyperLynx can ensure your design will work before you build it
Standards protocol compliance is critical to the success of any
SerDes-based design. When serial links are not compliant, system
operating margin is reduced and signal integrity issues can
communication errors that result in lengthy prototype debugging
cycles and schedule slips. With HyperLynx, you can ensure that all
the serial links in your design meet all of the standard
requirements, before releasing the design for prototype
fabrication.
Extensive protocol support
HyperLynx Compliance Analysis includes support for over 200
standard protocols and variants, including the Ethernet, Fiber
Channel, HDMI, JESD, MIPI-D, OIF-CEI, PCIe and USB families.
Protocol support is continually being expanded, and new
protocols can be loaded quickly as they become available.
Verify all your serial links
Most SerDes post-route flows use a combination of manual
extraction and schematic editing to create channel models, which
mean only a few channels can be analyzed. That means most
channels are not fully verified and are only checked visually,
which leaves chances for errors to slip through. HyperLynx uses
an automated, scalable process that means all channels can be
fully verified, eliminating opportunities for error.
Overnight compliance analysis
3D electromagnetic simulation is compute intensive, which means
analyzing all the critical areas in a design can take days if
simulated serially. HyperLynx allows 3D EM simulations to be run
in parallel to speed analysis and keep turnaround times
manageable.
What is Compliance Analysis and why it is important?
Simulating serial link performance with vendor IBIS-AMI models is
difficult because accurate models may not be available when
needed, and because simulation workflows are complex and often
must be customized based on model capabilities. SerDes Compliance
Analysis focuses on the serial channel (interconnect) itself,
ensuring it meets the requirements of the associated standard - a
process that is much more reliable and automatable. HyperLynx can
automatically verify channels for compliance with over 200
different protocols and variants using a single, consistent
workflow - providing the most comprehensive, fastest and easiest
post-route verification available in the industry.
