In-Design Crosstalk Analysis by using Sigrity Aurora.

Crosstalk has been a major problem that cause signal degradation in any interconnect such as PCB and Package. It is caused by unwanted electromagnetic coupling between adjacent traces. On top of that, distortions caused by crosstalk are hard to correct by signal equalization techniques at the receiver end.

 With PCB boards having high-speed components, interconnects and packages, it is important to do a crosstalk analysis on the signals/nets with high data rates to understand the sources of crosstalk, quantify and mitigate it efficiently.

 Powered by the Sigrity hybrid solver, Crosstalk analysis on the PCB layout can be done by using Sigrity Aurora. With the Integrated analysis tool, you can assess possible crosstalk issues in your design canvas itself, so you can fix them faster.

 Sigrity Aurora Crosstalk analysis Workflow is useful only for the evaluation of local coupling in nearly parallel traces and can be effectively used to quickly find the locations of crosstalk in post-layout analysis.

 The analyzed signals are color-coded based on the relative amount of crosstalk expected in the design and it is easy to view the details in a table format too.
