High speed PCB design faces several challenges: ensuring system timing, maintaining waveform integrity, avoiding crosstalk, and controlling power/ground stability and EMI. Cadence addresses these with a PCB design flow including functional verification, exploration, floorplanning, high-speed layout, and simulation using tools like SPECCTRAQuest and Allegro. The full flow supports both digital and analog design from IC to board.

Editor's Notes
- #13 Spreadsheet style allow you to sort, manipulate your design netlist to easy managing both electrical and physical constraints
- #14 SPECCTRAQuest Power Integrity module is a new add on option to SPECCTRAQuest SI Expert. It embeds proven technology from Sun Microsystems, Inc along with design and analysis environment from Cadence to address power delivery issues in high-speed PCB systems design. SPECCTRAQuest Power Integrity embodies a methodology used to design and optimize frequency dependent characteristics of power delivery systems in high speed systems design. It offers an integrated design and analysis environment to allow users many quick iterations of “change-simulate-analyze” in a short period of time.
- #15 Over the past decade, power delivery requirements for modern high-speed systems have been increasing rapidly even as the supply voltages have been dropping from 5V in early 1990s to less than 2V in systems being designed today. Chart above shows how the current requirements have grown 5 times faster than the voltages have dropped on most high-speed systems with microprocessors and complex bus architectures. This has resulted in complex high-speed microprocessor based designs requiring over 100 watts of power to be delivered to it. As the supply voltage has dropped in these systems, the tolerance ripple voltage has shrunk as well. 5% allowed ripple in a 5V system meant that the supply voltage could tolerate a swing of 0.25V. The same 5% ripple in a 1.8V system means the swing cannot be more than 0.09V! The systems are becoming more sensitive as the supply voltage drops. The need to reduce the supply voltage will continue to be driven by the battery life and thermal concerns. Most high-speed systems that have front end or post layout SI/Crosstalk simulations performed assume a clean dependable supply voltage. The approach was to sprinke more capacitors than needed to avoid hot spots. Any that were missed were caught in a prototype debug stage. This approach drives up the system per unit cost and complexity (harder to place and route when real-esate is tight).
- #16 Power Delivery System design errors show up in various places. Unreliable power delivery (supply droop) can cause timing failures, which can result in system crashes. Improperly addressed hot spots in a high-speed system can increase common mode EMI preventing the product from shipping. Not solving the problem or addressing it too late in the cycle increases development costs and causes the product to miss its time to market window of opportunity, which can be fatal for many products in a competitive market place.
- #17 How do people deal with these issues today? Most people tend to deal with it either by over-designing (a bypass cap per power supply pin per device) or by adding an iteration after the prototype debug shows problems. Both approaches are becoming unacceptable if the system cost or real-estate is an issue. Certainly adding an iteration to build a prototype eats into the precious time to market window for most companies building complex high-speed PCB systems. Some companies that use simulation for power delivery system design use standalone time domain (TD) simulation engines to find the voltage swing. The problem is that the cause of the swing is not identified by the TD simulation. Leaving the user to guess at the cause, make a fix and then run simulation again to see if the problem is solved or not. This is the “shooting in the dark” approach. There is no gurantee of convergence. There is a better approach……….
- #18 The approach that Cadence has taken is a better approach. It investigates the problem in the frequency domain to identify the cause and also to suggest a solution that can fix the problem. The approach is rooted in the fact that power delivery system’s impedance is freuency dependent and must be controlled for all frequency ranges from DC to daylight. In addition to simulating in frequency domain to identify the problem and suggest a solution, SPECCTRAQuest Power Integrity offers an environment that makes multiple iterations of “change-simulate-analyze” very quick and easy. It offers an intergated design and analysis environment allowing the users to focus on the problem instead of struggling with data translation issues between the CAD system and the analysis engines.
