In-Design Analysis

What is In-Design Analysis?

In-design analysis in PCB design refers to the process of performing real-time, automated checks and simulations within the PCB design environment. This approach helps designers identify and address potential issues during the design phase rather than post-design, reducing the need for extensive rework and improving the overall quality and reliability of the PCB.

Benefits

Easy to Use Intuitive Simulation Environment
Improved Signal Integrity and Power Integrity
Minimize Late-Stage Design Changes
Efficient Identification of Errors During the Design
Unified Environment for Design and Analysis

In-Design Analysis in OrCAD X

In-Design analysis can be performed directly in the PCB canvas to verify electrical performance and improve signal and power integrity in OrCAD X. Visual color-coded overlays and tabular results help engineers pinpoint issues that are typically hard to find in the lab enabling them to identify and correct problems early in the design process when change is easiest. The easy-to-use and configure simulations make signal and power integrity analysis accessible and understandable for all users without being an SI/PI expert and allow you to analyze:

Impedance
Coupling
Reflections
Crosstalk
IR Drop
Return Path
Loop Inductance

Key Features for In-Design Analysis with OrCAD X

OrCAD X contains the functionality you need to perform in-design analysis efficiently.

Unified Design Environment

In-design analysis in OrCAD X provides one environment to complete your PCB design and perform common signal integrity and power integrity analysis. The unified environment provides a common interface, minimizing the requirements to learn additional software, and allows you to design, analyze, and modify the PCB without transitioning between tools.

Visual Overlays

In-design analysis results are displayed with visual overlays directly on the PCB allowing you to efficiently pin point signal integrity and power integrity problems. Visual overlays are color-coded with an adjustable scale for quick identification and modification of the PCB design.

Tabular Results

Tabular results provide detailed information on your signal integrity and power integrity analysis. Numerical results are color-coded for efficient identification and problems can be identified on the PCB with cross-probing technology between results and the design canvas.
