Notice of S-NAP Electromagnetic Field Simulator Seminar on May 11, 2016 (Wednesday)

Study of power supply impedance using S-NAP/Field

In the power supply and ground pattern shown in Fig. 4, we remove the IC as shown in Fig. 5 and set a port at the IC's power terminal, then simulate the impedance from that port. The power supply terminal (the port section in Fig. 4) is connected to ground. Fig. 5 shows the current distribution at 225 MHz. As shown in Fig. 6, resonance is observed around 240 MHz, and at this frequency, it can be seen that current is already concentrated on the power input terminal side (the left end of the pattern). 【Features】 ○ Fig. 6 shows the impedance characteristics from 10 MHz to 500 MHz. ○ As is clear from the Smith chart, it demonstrates the characteristics of a transmission line with a short-circuited end. ○ The impedance reaches its maximum around 240 MHz, indicating that resonance occurs at this frequency (λ/4 resonance of the short-circuited stub).

Response waveform analysis of digital patterns using S-NAP/Field and Pro.

By analyzing multilayer substrates using S･NAP-Field, it is possible to analyze not only microwave circuits but also the coupling of digital circuits. To obtain response waveforms, waveform analysis can be performed using S･NAP-Pro based on the S-parameters obtained from S･NAP-Field, allowing for the observation of crosstalk and response waveforms at the waveform level. There are two methods for performing waveform analysis with S･NAP-Pro: one uses either the linear response waveform analysis function or the harmonic balance analysis function, and the other employs the convolution integral method to determine transient responses. Each of these methods has its own characteristics and should be chosen according to the specific objectives. This paper summarizes the overview and points of consideration for these methods. 【Methods】 ○ Extract signal sources present in the circuit ○ Perform Fourier transform on the signal sources, store the values of each spectrum, and create a frequency table ○ Execute AC analysis according to the frequency table created in the previous step, and obtain the spectrum at the observation point ○ Reconstruct waveforms at each observation point based on the spectrum For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Study of power supply impedance using circuit simulator (S-NAP/Pro)

In the design phase of print patterns, using simulators allows for efficient design and makes it easier to grasp essential issues. There are broadly two types of simulators used in microwaves: circuit simulators and electromagnetic field simulators. Circuit simulators are limited to specific circuit models but can perform circuit calculations based on Kirchhoff's laws, enabling very fast simulations. Electromagnetic field simulators, on the other hand, solve Maxwell's equations rigorously and can accurately simulate complex electromagnetic phenomena, but they require significantly more analysis time compared to circuit simulators. However, by appropriately distinguishing between these simulators, it is possible to efficiently identify and address issues.

Visualize noise characteristics! A new simulator has arrived to make noise countermeasures for printed circuit boards easier!

The electromagnetic field simulator for printed circuit board analysis, 'S-NAP PCB Suite (Ver.2)', integrates electromagnetic field analysis with circuit analysis. It quickly analyzes large printed circuit boards with more than 10 layers in real-time. By simply touching the component terminals, you can observe waveforms and spectra in real-time, making it easy to check the amount of noise superimposed on the signal! Additionally, it allows for easy understanding of "voltage," "current density distribution," and "locations of noise distribution." By analyzing the entire board, you can understand the coupling state of complex noise, significantly reducing the time required for noise countermeasures! Furthermore, through a technical collaboration with System Design Laboratory Co., Ltd., we provide comprehensive support from operational techniques to countermeasure proposals. We also offer the microwave circuit and electromagnetic field simulator "S-NAP Microwave Suite," which enables design and analysis of microwave circuits, antennas, and ultra-high-speed logic circuits.

The RTCA/DO-254 guidance recommends that applicants define and implement HDL coding standards. This work begins with a planning process that includes the definition of the standard, how it will be implemented, and, if the process is automated, the evaluation methods for tools or results. A key issue is that the guidance does not have clearly defined formal standards, leading to questions about how to conduct a detailed review of HDL code. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the use of ALINT-PRO to enforce coding standards and highlight the benefits of streamlining the overall design review to meet the objectives of DO-254.
