- How to deal with pre-layout phase for SI/HSD designers in ADS
- How to use Channel simulator with IBIS-AMI.
- How to setup simulations with SIPro and PiPro (analysis capabilities).
- How to tune the HSD application to characterize the behavior of real-world PCB designs imported into ADS
Course Type: User/Application Training.
Audience: Designers interested in understanding how to design pre-layout with ADS, to use Channel Simulation, IBIS-AMI models, to import board from other PCB tools and to analyze in ADS in post-layout phase with electromagnetic models (EM model).
This training class is designed primarily for SI/PI/HSD engineers experience with the Advanced Design System but not required.
Prerequisites: Good understanding of time-domain simulation.
Course Length: 3 days.
Course Format: The course combines lecture presentations with instructor guided hands-on sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to perform exercises in ADS.
Location: Online
Agenda:
6 June 2023, 9am - 5pm CET: Introduction to ADS
Introduction to ADS environment
- create an L-C ladder segment, parameterize it, convert it to a transmission line model by copy step/repeat.
- Use the analytical results for TL’s, compute Z0/beta and demonstrate behavior of this ideal line vs. frequency and then in time-domain using a transient analysis with a bit sequence.
- learn how to create schematics, data display for freq/time domains, tuning, parameterization.
- introduce distributed components as multilayer/microstrip/striplines, and concept of impedance mismatch
Basics of layout
- WYSIWYG vs. net-based mode, technology files, ODB++ import, navigator, how to define net names (Lab with Panda Board)
7 June 2023, 9am - 5pm CET: The Channel
Designing Pre-layout for PCB Constraints
Interconnect Utility Tools to Build the Channel:
- Line characterization
- Using and understanding the ADS multilayer library.
- Via Designer
- The SnP component and S-parameter Checker
HSD Simulation
Use the Pre-layout Schematic to build the channel
