Advanced simulation and modeling techniques for hardware quality verification of digital systems

synchronisation also play a fundamental role in overall system robustness. ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) issues also have to be considered because systems must comply with the relevant international standards. New design and test tools are needed to help system designers and validators solving these tough problems. The fast evolution of electronic systems combines high density of components, fine pitch PCB, MCM technology, very fast edge rates in components and large scale integration technique to produce higher operating speeds and system complexity. Signal Integrity (SI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) are more and more becoming major issues concerning hardware quality of modern systems. This matter makes it difficult to apply traditional software analysis tools. In this paper, we will discuss software that takes a new approach to the simulation problem with a strong connection between this software and measurement equipment to pro...
