System-level Post-Route Serial Link Verification with HyperLynx

Modern products are packed with serial links, yet many engineering teams don’t have an effective strategy in place to verify SerDes-based serial links after routing. Electronics designs are becoming so complex and dense that automated verification is the only cost-effective solution. This video shows how HyperLynx can automate post-layout verification of hundreds of serial links overnight. You’ll see how HyperLynx uses a progressive verification methodology that starts with running an electrical design rule check during PCB layout, then utilizes protocol-specific compliance analysis to look at the system level interconnect. Finally, see how HyperLynx uses IBIS-AMI model simulation to predict how the system will perform with actual devices and settings. HyperLynx provides a SerDes post-layout verification flow that allows PCB and hardware designers to identify potential problems early, without needing to draw down the scarce resource of a signal integrity expert.
