See why engineers choose Sigrity X over HyperLynx for all their SI, PI, EM, and Thermal analysis needs to increase first pass design success.
If you are running into similar issues with HyperLynx there is a better way. Sigrity X provides the first fully flexible and scalable, multi-physics simulation environment built to support your analysis needs and budget.
[With Sigrity X] Not only can many designs be analyzed 10x faster with the same level of accuracy, but the capability has also been extended to larger and more complex designs that previously could not be analyzed. This productivity builder is allowing us to cut weeks off our design cycles and expedite product delivery.”
Software packages and bundling can be confusing and place limits on simulation capabilities. Purchasing licenses for every type of analysis required to produce a functional, optimized PCB design is costly and likely impossible within in the budgetary constraints of the project. Sigrity X includes ALL the simulation options required for comprehensive analysis with a flexible token-based licensing model. This token-based licensing model allows each team member to access the powerful Sigrity X analysis engines they need throughout the design process, utilizing user-friendly workflows to evaluate crucial SI and PI issues, and optimize PCB performance at every stage.

In-Design Analysis
Analyze common signal integrity and power integrity issues throughout the design process directly within the PCB canvas to easily identify issues and improve performance without waiting for SI experts.
Industry-Standard Compliance Analysis
Automatically compare performance of common interfaces including DDR, USB, PCIe, HDMI, and more to industry standards to ensure compliance before PCB production, reduce compliance testing iterations, and minimize post-production design modifications.
Dynamic IR Drop Analysis
Dynamically analyze the Power Delivery Network for your PCB designs to evaluate PDN performance during startup and guarantee adequate power can be delivered within the timing budget.
Post-Layout What-If Analysis
Analyze sections of your post-layout PCB design and perform what-if analysis to fix errors and optimize performance before production. Incorporating linesim and boardsim together enables a streamlined environment to analyze what-if scenarios and efficiently improve PCB performance.
Real-Time Co-Design
With real-time co-design, multiple users can access, analyze, and modify the PCB to accelerate the design process. With a live view in the PCB canvas, color-coded user display, and history tracking, users can design simultaneously- continuing to work on the PCB while signal and power integrity analysis is performed.
Automated HTML-Based Reporting
Easily generate HTML-based reports containing results and screenshots from your signal and power integrity analysis as well as compliance to industry standards to efficiently communicate with team members. This template-based approach accelerates the reporting process and outputs a format that is accessible for all stakeholders.
With deadlines shortening and technology becoming more advanced, the adoption of Sigrity X technology for signal and power integrity analysis allows us to verify designs quickly and accurately. This is critical to ensure we can provide our customers with a reliable product promptly.”
See how you can leverage Sigrity to analyze and optimize SI, PI, EMC/EMI, and thermal performance.
Why Boards Fail
Return path induced noise and poor signal quality can negatively affect board performance and result in intermittent issues that are hard to identify. With Sigrity X, you can analyze return paths, identify issues, and improve signal performance.
Decoupling Capacitor Optimization
Multi-corner PDN analysis with Sigrity X allows you to analyze cost vs. performance metrics to efficiently optimize decoupling capacitor size and placement, minimizing over-designing.
Reduce Power Starvation and Hot Spots
Insufficient power can result in intermittent failures that are difficult to troubleshoot and too much current can produce hot spots that compromise the safety of your device. With Sigrity X you can analyze the current flow and density in your designs to reduce power starvation and hot spots.
DDR and Serial Link Analysis
Sigrity X allows you to analyze DDR and Serial link performance and automatically compare the results against industry standards to ensure compliance before PCB production with pass/fail reporting.
Avoid Power Delivery Problems
Analyze and optimize your Power Delivery Network with IR drop analysis in Sigrity X to guarantee adequate power can be delivered within the time constraints of the design.
S-Parameter Model Extraction
Quickly model your unique design parasitics and interconnects with highly accurate and fast power-aware S-parameter models to use in systems level simulation with Sigrity X.
