Impedance Analysis

Easily analyze the entire design or a selection of critical signals to identify impedance discontinuities. Visual overlays, graphical plots, and tabular results help you identify impedance issues, reduce noise, and improve signal quality.

Impedance Analysis

Coupling Analysis

While coupling is necessary for proper functionality in differential pairs, unintended coupling can impact signal performance and the functionality of the design. Easily analyze coupling for the entire PCB design with visual overlays, graphical plots, and tabular results to improve signal integrity.

Coupling Analysis

Reference Checking

Reference discontinuities are difficult to detect without simulation but can create additional noise and effecting signal quality. Analyze references and ensure a continuous return path to improve signal integrity throughout the design.

Reference Checking

Crosstalk Analysis

Incorporate crosstalk effects from traces and vias to analyze coupled lines typical in serial link and DDR interfaces to guarantee signal performance and intended circuit functionality. Graphical results, tabular results, and efficient reporting capabilities help identify and communicate areas in the design excessive crosstalk.

Crosstalk Analysis

Reflection Analysis

Analyze delay loss and reflections to improve performance and quality of critical signals in the design. Graphical results, tabular results, and efficient reporting capabilities help identify and communicate degraded signal performance.

Reflection Analysis

Multi-CAD Compatibility

Analyze signal quality of your PCB designs regardless of the PCB design software or board file format. OrCAD Sigrity ERC can import multiple design formats including IPC-2581, Altium, Mentor, Zuken, Cadence, ODB++, and more.

Multi-CAD Compatibility

Intuitive and Scalable Environment

OrCAD Sigrity ERC utilizes a workflow-driven analysis which outlines the required steps to complete the simulation and provides a centralized location for setup, simulation, results and reporting. This intuitive UI is scalable allowing you to seamlessly incorporate additional workflows if advanced simulation and analysis capabilities are required.
