- 2. Design Engineering Overview • PCB Design is an important part of the project as it is the link between the electronic and physical parts. • This puts the PCB designer in a position where they are having to find the best solution which meets all the requirements of the Test Platform, Test Engineers, Manufacturers and Assemblers. • With increasing complexity in the projects comes a greater chance of conflict between these requirements. • Our understanding of the complete PCB design process and PCB ELECTRONIC MECHANICAL manufacturing process will help TESTER SPECIFICATION SCHEMATIC / NETLIST TESTER SPECIFICATION SOCKET DATA SHEET eliminate any possible conflicts, PINOUT BoM HANDLER SPECIFICATION reducing design time and maximising CONSTRAINTS the manufacturability and ruggedness of the PCB. • Our experience of RF, High Speed Digital and Analog design supported by Simulation enable us to deliver the MANUFACTURE ASSEMBLY GERBER BoM SYNERGIE CAD required electrical performance of the DRILL FILES ASSEMBLY DRAWING PLACMENT FILE Confidential PCB.

- 5. Design Engineering Simulation Overview - Tool Set • ANSYS HFSS software is the industry-standard simulation tool for 3-D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation and is essential for the design of high-frequency and high-speed component design. – Provides accuracy to design OF high-speed components, test sockets, PCB interconnects, high-frequency components and RF/microwave components. – Evaluate signal quality, including transmission path losses, reflection loss due to impedance mismatches, parasitic coupling and radiation. – Visualize 3-D electromagnetic fields. • ANSYS SIWave to analyse complete designs (includes multiple, arbitrarily shaped power/ground layers, vias, signal traces and circuit elements). – Perform complete signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis from DC to beyond 10 GHz. • Extract matrix parameters (S,Y, Z parameters), of signal nets and power distribution networks directly from EDA layout databases*. • Aids in the identification of signal-integrity and power-integrity problems and are critical to first-pass system success. SYNERGIE CAD Confidential Page 5 * ODB++ is used as a common transfer method. It must be verified if the ODB++ file created by a particular package is compatible.
- 6. Simulation EDA Data Import • ODB++ data files from EDA from the Layout tool directly imported. – Ability to provide simulation as a separate service. • Measurement ports are place at the required points on the layout • Extract matrix parameters (S,Y, Z parameters) for analysis. • Cut-out sections to perform 3D Full-wave simulation of High-frequency sections and RF/microwave.
