  • PollEx PCB Solver
    In addition to SI
    • Possible to analyze noise effect coupled from outside such as EMS

 External Noise Port

  • In order to see the effect of the noise coupled in the trace or cable due to EMS, the function to add an “external noise port” on the net is added to the Net Topology Analyzer of PollEx S User can use *.csv and *.dat file format for external noise waveform file.
  • Worst case simulation can be performed by controlling the assertion skew(delay) between basic waveform and noise waveform.

 “Arbitrary bit stream” stimulus feature

  • When performing Eye-Diagram analysis using PollEx SI, a function to apply an arbitrary bit stream as a stimulus has been added to the Network Analyzer. As an arbitrary bit stream file, *.csv and *.txt file formats are supported.

Using UPE library in DFE+: Automatic Component Group/Net Group generation

  • To automatically analyze a design using DFE+, user need to set the Component Group and Net Group to be analyzed. The "Import from UPE" button is added to PollEx DFE+ Design Constraints dialog for automatic configuration of the Component Group. Upon clicking this button, the Component Group is automatically set using the "Part Classification" information set in advance in the UPE.

  • To automatically analyze a design using DFE+, user need to set the Component Group and Net Group to be analyzed. The "Import from net class definition" button is added to PollEx DFE+ Design Constraints dialog for automatic Net Group configuration. Upon clicking this button, Net Group is automatically set by using the "Net Class" information set in advance on the PCB.
