CADENCE仿真步骤

CADENCE仿真步骤
Cadence是一款电路仿真软件，它可以帮助设计师创建、分析和仿真
电子电路。

本文将介绍Cadence仿真的步骤。

1.准备仿真结构：第一步是准备仿真结构。

我们需要编写表示电路的Verilog或VHDL代码，然后将它们编译到Cadence Integrated Circuit (IC) Design软件中。

这会生成许多文件，包括netlist和verilog等文件，这些文件将用于仿真。

2.定义仿真输入输出信号：接下来，我们需要定义仿真的输入信号和
输出信号。

输入信号可以是电压、电流、时间和其他可测量的变量。

我们
需要定义输入信号的模拟和数字值，以及输出信号的模拟和数字值。

3.定义参数：参数是仿真中用于定义仿真设计的变量，这些变量可以
是仿真中电路的物理参数，如电阻、电容、时延、输入电压等，也可以是
算法参数，如积分步长等。

4.运行仿真：在所有参数和信号都设置完成后，我们可以运行仿真。

在运行仿真之前，可以使用自动参数检查来检查参数是否正确。

然后，使
用“开始仿真”命令即可启动仿真进程。

5.结果分析：在仿真结束后，我们可以使用结果分析器来查看输出信

以上就是Cadence仿真步骤。

CadenceallegroPI仿真

CadenceallegroPI仿真PCB中导⼊⽹表后，设置层叠结构（电源层、地层），划分好电源层，接下来：a) 将allegro切换到Allegro PCB PI option XL版本，Analysis->Preference，点开电源完整性选项卡，其中的⼀些常见选项如Min.plane/board area的值（⼩于它的平⾯仿真时直接就忽略了）；b) Analysis->Power Integrity，（第⼀次建⽴会有警告，确定），接下来就是设置了，依次为：板⼦尺⼨->层叠结构->电源层的DC⽹络电压->添加电源层对(可以看到电源层对之间的内部电容)->选择仿真要⽤的的电容->选DCL(decap capacitou library,去耦电容器库)->勾选Board⽂件夹下的各电容（可以看到电容值、ESR、电感、谐振频率）->finish。

如图图1 PI设置向导完后的界⾯c) 选择需要仿真的电源层对，设置该层的纹波，最⼤的变化电流（可以看到该平⾯的⽬标阻抗）->点Single Node Simulation进⾏单节点仿真（不考虑元器件的摆放位置，验证电容的数⽬及型号是否满⾜），如图2：图2 单节点仿真图从图中可以看出，在200M频率内，⿊⾊的线为有电容之后的曲线，它位于⽬标阻抗（黄⾊）线下⾯，说明在200M的频率（⾃⼰理解为PCB 电源层给供电的IC芯⽚的频率）内，电源是完整的。

但实际情况并不⼀定是这样，如图3：图3 在单节点仿真中加实际情况如红⾊的曲线，则应为电源平⾯选⼀个电容的谐振频率为fa的电容，再次仿真之后，会得到有两个峰值的曲线，再加谐振频率等于，峰值对应的横坐标（谐振频率）的电容值即可，依次这样进⾏，直到整条曲线在要求的频率范围之内，位于⽬标谐振频率曲线下⾯。

（在调的时候，不⼀定是⾮得改原理图中电容的⼤⼩，也可适当增加原理图中滤波电容的数量）如蓝⾊曲线，相对于红⾊曲线，其谐振频率不到1M，⽅法同上，不过选这样的电容，电容值都⽐较⼤，如100uF。

CDNLive! Paper – Signal Integrity (SI) for Dual Data Rate (DDR) InterfacePrithi Ramakrishnan iDEN Subscriber Group Plantation, FlPresented atIntroductionThe need for Signal Integrity (SI) analysis for printed circuit board (PCB) design has become essential to ensure first time success of high-speed, high-density digital designs. This paper will cover the usage of Cadence’s Allegro PCB SI tool for the design of a dual data rate (DDR) memory interface in one of Motorola’s products. Specifically, this paper will describe the following key phases of the high-speed design process: Design set-up Pre-route SI analysis Constraint-driven routing Post-route SI analysisDDR interfaces, being source synchronous in nature, feature skew as the fundamental parameter to manage in order to meet setup and hold timing margins. A brief overview of source synchronous signaling and its challenges is also presented to provide context.Project BackgroundThis paper is based on the design of a DDR interface in an iDEN Subscriber Group phone that uses the mobile Linux Java platform. The phone is currently in the final stages of system and factory testing, and is due to be released in the market at the end of August 2007 for Nextel international customers. The phone has a dual-core custom processor with an application processor (ARM 11) and a baseband processor (StarCore) running at 400MHz and 208MHz respectively. The processor has a NAND and DDR controller, both supporting 16-bit interfaces. The memory device used is a multi-chip package (MCP) with stacked NAND (512Mb) and DDR (512Mb) parts. The NAND device is run at 22MHz and the DDR at 133MHz. The interface had to be supported over several memory vendors, and consequently had to account for the difference in timing margins, input capacitances, and buffer drive strengths between different dies and packages. As customer preference for smaller and thinner phones grows, the design and placement of critical components and modules has become more challenging. In addition to incorporating various sections such as Radio Frequency (RF), Power Management, DC, Audio, Digital ICs, and sub-circuits of these modules, design engineers must simultaneously satisfy the rigid placement requirements for components such as speakers, antennas, displays, and cameras. As such, there are very few options and little flexibility in terms of placement of the components. This problem was further accentuated by the fact that several layers of the 10 layer board (3-4-3 structure with one ground plane and no power planes) were reserved for power, audio, and other high frequency (RF) nets, leaving engineers with few layers to choose from for digital circuitry.Figure 1. Memory Interface routes With the DDR interface data switching at 266MHz, we had very tight margins — 600ps for data/DQS lines, 280ps for the address lines, and 180ps for control lines. However, with the NAND interface we had larger margins that were on the order of a few tens of nanoseconds. In these situations, choosing a higher drive strength and using terminators of appropriate values (to meet rise times and avoid overshoot/undershoot) has become a common practice in DDR designs. However, due to the lack of space on the board, we were not in a position to use terminators. Therefore, we used programmable buffers on our processor, and with the help of Cadence SI tools were able to fine-tune the design. Our group migrated from using Mentor Graphics to Cadence SI during this project. As one might expect, this made the task of designing a high speed DDR interface even more challenging. To help overcome this, we worked extensively with Cadence Services, where Ken Willis supported us on the SI portion of the design.The Source Synchronous Design ChallengeBefore discussing the specifics of the Motorola DDR interface, a brief overview of source synchronous signaling is provided here for context. Historically, digital interfaces have utilized “common clock” signaling, as shown in the figure below.Clock DriverTcoInterconnect Delay D0 D1 D2 D0 D1 D2DriveReceiveFigure 2. Common clock designWith common clock interfaces, the clock signal is provided to the driving and receiving components from an external component. The magnitude of the driver’s Tco (time from clock to output valid) and the interconnect delay between the driving and receiving components becomes a limiting factor in the timing of the interface. From a practical standpoint, it becomes increasingly challenging to implement interfaces of this type above several hundred megahertz. In order to accommodate requirements for faster data rates, source synchronous signaling emerged as the new paradigm. This is illustrated in the figure below.StrobeD 0 D 1D 0 D 1DriveReceiveFigure 3. Source synchronous design.In a source synchronous interface, the “clock” is provided locally by the driving component, and is generally called a “strobe” signal. The relationship between the strobe and its associated data bits is known as it leaves the driving component, with setup and hold margins pre-established as the signals are put onto the bus.TsetupTholdFigure 4. Timing diagram. This essentially takes the driver’s Tco as well as the magnitude of the interconnect delay between the driving and receiving chip out of the timing equation altogether. The timing challenge then becomes to manage the skew between the data and strobe signals such that the setup and hold requirements at the receiving end are still met.Technical ApproachThe general technical approach used in this project can be broken down into the following key phases of the high-speed design process: Design set-up Pre-route SI analysis Constraint-driven routing Post-route SI analysisFirst the PCB design database is set up to enable analysis with Allegro PCB SI. Before routing is performed, initial trade-offs are examined at the placement stage, and constraints are captured to facilitate constraint-driven routing. When routing is completed, detailed analysis is performed, interconnect delays extracted, and setup/hold margins are computed. Any adjustments required are fed back to the layout designer, and the postroute analysis is repeated. This basic process is diagrammed below.Design Setup SI Models Pre-Route AnalysisStartConstraints RoutingPost-Route AnalysisnoMargins OK?yes EndFigure 5. SI design process flow. Detail on the major design phases are provided in the subsequent sections. Design Setup By virtue of its direct integration with the Allegro PCB layout database, Allegro SI analysis requires that the design be set up to facilitate the automated extraction, circuit building, netlisting, simulation, and analysis that it performs. This essentially means adding the needed intelligence to the physical Allegro database that allows the tool to do its job. This setup involves the following: Cross section DC nets Device definitions SI models By definition, SI analysis involves the modeling of interconnect parasitics. In order to do this accurately, the tool needs to know the properties and characteristics of the materials used in the PCB stack-up. This information is defined in the Cross Section form, as shown below.It is crucial to get this data correct, as it will be fed to the 2D field solver to model interconnect parasitics during the extraction process. The best source for this detailed information is generally from the PCB fabricator. Layer thickness, dielectric constant, and loss tangent are all critical parameters for the cross section definition. In order for circuit extraction to be done properly, the tool needs to know about DC nets in the design, and what their associated voltage levels are. This accomplishes two main things in the setup; a) enables voltage sources to be injected properly in the extracted circuits, and b) avoids having the tool needlessly trying to extract extremely large DC nets, and hanging up the analysis process. Take the example of a parallel resistor termination. Allegro SI will encounter the resistor as it walks the signal net to be extracted. The tool will look up the SI model assigned to this resistor, splice in the resistor subcircuit, and continue extracting whatever is on the other side of the resistor. If this is a large DC net (ex. VTT), the desire is for the tool to put a voltage source at the 2nd resistor pin, complete the circuit, and simulate the signal. To do this properly, the tool relies on a VOLTAGE property to exist on the DC net, with a numeric value defined. In the absence of the VOLTAGE property, the tool will simply continue to extract, which in the case of a 2000 pin ground net, would be a large waste of computational time. To identify DC nets, clicking “Logic > Identify DC Nets” will spawn the following form.All DC nets in the design should be identified, to fully optimize SI analysis. These can be identified up front in the schematic, as well as in the physical layout as shown here. The next step in the design set-up process is to verify that the logical “CLASS” and “PINUSE” attributes for the devices in the design are defined appropriately. These attributes originate from the schematic symbol libraries and are passed into the Allegro physical layout environment. In an ideal methodology, these libraries would be defined properly and would require no edits. However, this is not always the case, and as these attributes have a bearing on the behavior of the SI analysis, it is worth mention here. The “CLASS” attribute is used to distinguish between different types of components in the PCB design. Legal values of “CLASS” are listed below: IC – This is used for digital integrated circuits, which contain drivers and/or receivers. These types of components are modeled with an SI model of the type “IbisDevice”. When the automated circuit building algorithms in Allegro PCB SI encounter a model of this type, it looks up the buffer model (driver, receiver, or bidirectional) assigned to the pin in question, and inserts it into the circuit along with its associated package parasitics. IO – A component with CLASS = IO is intended for components that connect off-card to other physical layout designs, such as connectors. These components can be associated with a “DesignLink”, which provides netlisting to other physical designs and enables multi-board SI analysis. So circuit building algorithms expect to jump from a device of CLASS=IO to a similar device on a different physical layout. DISCRETE – For devices of this class, circuit building algorithms expect to traverse “through” the component, from one pin to another, inserting a subcircuit in-between. A good example of this would be a series resistor.If CLASS attributes are not set up properly in the source schematic libraries, they can be edited in the physical layout database for analysis by using the form shown below, launched from the “Logic > Parts List” menu pick.The “PINUSE” attribute also impacts the behavior of the SI analysis, as the tool uses this information to determine if a pin is a driver, receiver, bidirectional, or passive pin. As with the “CLASS” attribute, in an ideal methodology this is defined properly in the schematic libraries, and no editing is required in physical layout. “PINUSE” can be modified in two main ways for SI purposes. The most straightforward way is to ensure that the IOCell models used in the IbisDevice models assigned to components have the appropriate Model Type for the signals they are associated to. When SI models are assigned to components, the tool will check for conflicts between the model and the PINUSE it finds for the component in the design, and will use the SI model to automatically override the PINUSE found in the drawing. So if the correct pin types are found in the SI models, the layout will automatically inherit those settings. For components not explicitly modeled, their PINUSE can be set using the form shown below, launched from the “Logic > Pin Type” menu pick.Signal Integrity (SI) models can be assigned using the “Signal Model Assignment” form, shown below.Upon clicking “OK” the selected models will be assigned to the components and saved directly in the layout database. As mentioned previously, “PINUSE” attributes will be synced up, with the SI models superseding attributes in the original layout drawing.Pre-Route SI AnalysisPerforming pre-route analysis is a key part of the high-speed design process. Once critical component placement has been done, Manhattan distances can be used to estimate trace lengths, and can provide a realistic picture of how routed interconnect will potentially perform.Before simulations are run for critical signals, the timing of the interface must be well understood. To accomplish this, we will first sketch timing diagrams for each signal group and then extract a representative signal for analysis. Next, we will explore Z0, layer assignments, drive strength, route lengths, spacing, and terminations for these nets.To sketch the timing diagrams, we first analyze the memory interface. The memory interface consists of both DDR and NAND signals and has around seventy nets. To simplify the analysis of the interface, we first divide these nets based on function and then simulate one net from each group. Accordingly, we select one signal from each of the following groups —clock_ddr, strobe_ddr , data_ddr, control_ddr, address_ddr, control_nand, and data_nand — for our pre-route simulations.To understand the timing relations in the interface, we should look at the following operations between the memory device and the processor — read, write, address write, and control operations. Next, we identify the nets involved and the clocking reference signal for each of these operations. We then calculate the worst case slack available from the setup and hold numbers available in the data sheets. In particular, we adopted the worst case numbers across four different memory vendors, to ensure robustness of the manfactured system in the field..1.ReadDuring the read operation, the memory drives the data and DQS lines. The processor has a delay line (a series of buffers which can be tapped at different points), which is used to delay the DQS signal so that it samples the data at quarter of the cycle. The processor also offers programming options that allow us to apply an offset to the quarter cycle, enabling us to meet our setup and hold times. Hence, the processor self-corrects forstrobe/data skew using this delay line. The granularity of this delay line is 30 ps; that is, each of the buffers of the delay line contributes 30 ps of delay. The data lines 0-7 are clocked with respect to the DQS0 strobe signal, and the data lines 8-15 are clocked with respect to DQS1. Data and strobe lines should be clustered, with the matching constraints determined by the write cycle.2.WriteFigure 7. Write operation at memory interface.During the write operation, both data and DQS are driven by the processor. Data is latched at both the positive and the negative edges of the DQS signals. Here again, data bits 0-7 are clocked by DQS0 and data bits 8-15 are clocked by DQS1. The setup and hold times available as these signals come out of the DDR controller are 1.58ns and 1.7ns respectively and the corresponding times required at the memory to ensure correct operation is 0.9ns. Hence, the slack available for routing is the lesser of 1.58ns – 0.9ns or 1.7ns – 0.9ns, which comes out to be 0.68ns. This amounts to an allowable ~85mm mismatch between the data lines. In addition, we need to make sure that length of the DQS lines is around the average of all the data lines. The data mask signals DQM0 and DQM1 also come into play during the write operation and we should group them along with the respective data lines.3.Address busFigure 8. Address bus operation at memory interface.Both address and clock lines are driven by the processor. The address bits 0-12 are clocked by the differential clock and latched at the positive edge of the clock. The setup and hold times available for these signals from the DDR controller are 1.78ns and 4.22ns respectively and the corresponding times required at the memory to ensure correct operation is 1.5ns for both. Hence the worst case slack for routing is 0.28ns and we have to try to match our signals to meet these numbers. The 0.28ns slack amounts to ~14mm mismatch between the address lines and the clock.4.Control linesFigure 9. Control lines at memory interface.The control signals are clocked by the differential clock and latched at the positive edge of the clock. The setup and hold times coming out of the DDR controller are 1.64ns and 4.04ns respectively. The setup and hold times required at the memory to ensure correct operation is 1.5ns. Hence, the worst case slack for routing is 0.14ns and we have to try and match our signals to meet these numbers. The 0.14 ns slack amounts to ~7mm mismatch between the control lines and the clock.In addition, CLK to DQS skew is around 600 ps. With regards to the NAND lines, setup and hold numbers are in the order of tens of ns and hence routing them as short as possible based on their Manhattan lengths would suffice.To complete pre-route analysis, SigXplorer must be setup for these tasks:a. Extract a topology file for single net analysis. To bring up the net in SigXplorer, it is essential that the models are assigned, as described in Section 2, to each of the drivers, receivers, and components in the signal path.b. Set up parameters for extraction and simulate using SigXplorer.c. Perform measurements using SigWaveThe following screenshots of SigXplorer show this process in detail.Figure 10. SigXplorer screenshots.Since at this point none of the nets in the design are routed we need to set the percent Manhattan section for unrouted interconnect models. We should then select the net, as shown in the next screenshot, for analysis.Analyze Æ SI/EMI Sim Æ PreferencesThe speed at which the signal travels in the trace, where C is 3 x 108 m/s and E reff is the effective dielectric constant seen in the interconnectSets the default lengthfor unrouted transmission linesAt this point, it is important to check if your driver and receiver pins are set correctly. The net chosen in the above example is a data net, it is bi-directional, hence it can be driven both by the memory device as well as the processor. The view topology icon can be clicked to export this net in SigXplorer.The tool extracts the net along with drivers, receivers and strip lines on various layers of the board. Before you start the simulation, you must set the stimulus frequency, pulse step offset, and cycle count. This can be set in the following GUI.Analyze Æ PreferencesBoth the memory device and the processor have programmable drive strengths. The buffer model can bechanged to pick up the various drive strengths that are available in the dml models of the devices till we observe satisfactory waveforms in SigWave.Analyze Æ SI/EMI Sim Æprobeinvokes SigXplorerMake sure you check you driver and load pinsSigXplorer allows you to sweep any of the parameters such as the thickness, length, drive strengths and displays corresponding settle/switch delays, monotonicity, and glitch tolerance for the corresponding simulation. It also allows adding components such as resistors and capacitors and let’s us sweep their values. We added a resistor in series with our clock in or to get rid of ringing in the rising edge. The tool let us determine what values were suitable for this resistor. As shown in the next figure the waveform corresponding to our simulation can bebrought up on SigWave.driverreceiverYou can observe the rise/fall times, look for noise margins, overshoot/undershoot of the receiver waveform. The constraints we develop in the pre-route simulation will be used by the routing tool to ensure correct first time results. This leads to our next section; Constraint-driven routing.Constraint-driven routingOnce pre-route analysis has been done, and trade-offs have been examined, signal wiring constraints need to be developed to drive the constraint-driven routing process. With the DDR interface being point-to-point between the processor and memory, we translated our timing requirements into length constraints to make the routing as straightforward as possible. We also assigned layer constraints for our DDR signals. Both the length and the layer constraints can be directly applied to the constraint manager before the routing process starts.For our particular design, we determined the following layer assignments from the results of the pre-route simulations, taking into account the layer’s characteristic impedance per our stack-up:Layer 6 Æ ground planeLayer 7 Æ clock, add, ctrlLayer 8 Æ data, strobeLayer 9 Æ NAND interfaceBefore we set up our design for auto-routing, we routed the differential clock lines manually on the layers closest to the ground plane. For the rest of the nets, the layer constraints can be created as shown in the following snapshots of the constraint manager.Electrical Constraint Set Æ WiringRight click on board Æ Create new constraintName the constraint (ex. ECSET1)We choose one layer with horizontal orientation and one with vertical for each of our layer sets. You can form groups from the available layer sets and create a new constraint. This constraint, which we define as ECSET1, can be easily read back in the constraint manager and applied to the relevant net group, as shown in the following snapshot.We determined from pre-route analysis the slack available for each of our net groups; however, before we translate these into length constraints it is important to get a report of the Manhattan lengths of each of these signals. To illustrate this, we will focus on the address signals. The Manhattan report of the address lines showed that the shortest lines were 6mm and the longest were 17mm. Accordingly, the minimum length constraint must be longer than 6mm and the maximum length constraint must be longer than 17mm. Additionally, from our timing diagrams, we determined that the maximum spread can be no more than 14mm. Following these restrictions, we set the minimum and maximum length limits for the address line are 11.99 mmto 18.99 mm (shown in the constraint editor window below). Based on the layout designer's recommendations, we were able to constrain a bit tighter (7mm margin) and produce better margins.To enter the length constraint, we open the Net Æ Routing ÆTotal etch length section of the constrain manager. We followed this procedure for all the other net groups. The snapshot that follows shows length constraints associated with the address lines. Here, the key is to not to over-constrain your design, but at the same time have enough constraints so the timing and signal integrity parameters are met. Over-constraining the design severely inhibits the auto-router and may leave large portions of the design (as much as 90%) un-routed.Post-Route SI AnalysisOnce the design is fully routed, detailed simulations can be run for post-route verification. The goal at this phase is to determine final margins over all corners, and find and correct any SI or timing-related issues before the board is released for fabrication. Before starting simulation, it is important to verify that the design is properly routed and that it meets the specifications/constraints. In particular, it is essential to verify that the design does not include dangling and partially-routed/un-routed nets. We must also verify that all the nets meet the length constraints assigned to them. The Constraint Manager window helps identify nets that are in violation (shown in red) and nets that are in compliance (in green). For convenience and clarity, the Constraint Manager also reports the actual route length and the Manhattan lengths for each net.The next step is to bring up the physical layout and visually inspect the nets to ensure that each net is routed in its appropriate layer, or run DRCs if the signals were explicitly limited to specific layers in Physical Constraint Sets. When test points are associated with a net, we must manually verify that the points are in line with the nets (and are not stubs hanging off the nets). Note that when using the simpler Total_Etch_Length constraint, the auto-router can meet routing length constraints for the net, even when there are stubs in the design. These stubs can produce undesirable effects such as reflections and hence this step is important. If there are too manycritical signals to check manually on larger designs, this check can be automated by using an explicit topology and stub length constraints. After manual inspection, we begin post–route simulation and generate reports to analyze the design. We then export the reports to an Excel spreadsheet to facilitate analysis.We generated both delay and reflection reports. The delay report provides information on timing parameters such as propagation delay, switch and settle rise and fall times. The reflection report presents data on signal integrity parameters such as overshoot, undershoot, noise margin, monotonicity, and glitch. Preparing the design for post-route simulation involves the selection of various options in the SI\EMI Sim preferences list. The following screen display describes this process.In the form above, we set up the frequency of the stimulus and the duty cycle. We also set up V meas as thereference for delay calculations. Choosing the reference as V meas , rather than V IH and V IL , makes analysis much easier and is in accordance with the memory datasheet. We chose V meas as 0.9V which is half of the peak-to-peak voltage swing (1.8V).Now that the design is routed, we need to set the parameters for routed interconnects. Here you can specify the minimum coupling distance for nets for the tool to recognize it as a differential pair. This can be done by invoking Analyze Æ SI ÆPref ÆInterconnect Models.Analyze Æ SI/EMI Sim Æ preferencesThe preceding screenshot shows the option that allows us to select the delay and reflection reports. In this form, we also choose all three simulation modes — fast, typical, and slow — to cover all corner cases. In our experience, running typical mode simulations were not enough to determine final timing margins over process, voltage, and temperature. So, we exported the reports to an Excel spread sheet and analyzed the results. Reflection and delay reports simulate only a primary net and none of its neighbors. As a result, these reports do not take into consideration the parasitics of the power and ground pins.Timing > Control typNote:All timings in ns unless labelled otherwise.Component Timingdriving to MemoryTsetup 1.64Tsetup 1.5Thold 4.04Thold 1.5Skew_max = 1.64 - 1.5 = 140ps between clock and controlSkew_max=0.14Clock/Strobe RelationshipsSdram_Ctrl<6:7> is differential clockInterconnect TimingXNet Drvr Rcvr PropDly SettleRise SettleFall AvgSettleSDRAM_CTRL<6>U800 V2_UU2164 C7_U2160.142029 1.13851 1.20538 1.172XNet Drvr Rcvr PropDly SettleRise SettleFall MinSettle MaxSettle MinSettleSkew MaxSettleSkew MaxSkew MarginSDRAM_CTRL<0>U800U21640.1118 1.191 1.235 1.104 1.2350.0680.0630.0680.072SDRAM_CTRL<10>U800U21640.1254 1.165 1.207SDRAM_CTRL<11>U800U21640.1114 1.141 1.187SDRAM_CTRL<12>U800U21640.1217 1.178 1.221SDRAM_CTRL<13>U800U21640.1067 1.114 1.153SDRAM_CTRL<14>U800U21640.09823 1.104 1.143SDRAM_CTRL<2>U800U21640.1274 1.163 1.205SDRAM_CTRL<3>U800U21640.09163 1.108 1.153SDRAM_CTRL<8>U800U21640.1081 1.137 1.182SDRAM_CTRL<4>U800U21640.06959 1.143 1.247SDRAM_CTRL<5>U800U21640.0862 1.169 1.285The preceding spreadsheet was created with data from delay reports and was used to analyze the control lines with respect to the clock. The clock signal in our design is called SDRAM_CTRL<6>. The sheet also lists the driver (U800, the processor), receiver (U2164, memory device), propagation delay (0.142029 ns), settle rise (1.13851 ns), and settle fall (1.20538 ns) values. The average settle delay (1.172 ns) is calculated by averaging the settle rise and settle fall numbers.The control nets SDRAM<0> to SDRAM_CTRL <14> are listed next to the corresponding drivers, receivers, propagation delays, settle rise and settle fall delays. We then look for the minimum and maximum delays of all the settle rise and settle fall delays. These are listed under maximum settle delay (1.235 ns) and minimum settle delay (1.104 ns) respectively. Using these numbers, we calculate the maximum settle skew (0.063 ns), which is the difference between the maximum settle delay (1.235ns) and the average settle time (1.172 ns) of the clock signal. We also calculate the minimum settle skew (0.063 ns), which is the difference between the minimum settle delay (1.104ns) and the average settle time (1.172 ns) of the clock signal. Subtracting the maximum of these two skews, which in our case is 0.068 ns, from the total skew available (0.140 ns) gives the margin (0.072 ns) for these nets.。

CADENCE仿真步骤

Cadence SPECCTRAQuest 仿真步骤[摘要]本文介绍了Cadence SPECCTRAQuest在高速数字电路的PCB设计中采用的基于信号完整性分析的设计方法的全过程。

从信号完整性仿真前的环境参数的设置，到对所有的高速数字信号赋予PCB板级的信号传输模型，再到通过对信号完整性的计算分析找到设计的解空间，这就是高速数字电路PCB板级设计的基础。

[关键词]板级电路仿真 I/O Buffer Information Specification（IBIS）1 引言电路板级仿真对于今天大多数的PCB板级设计而言已不再是一种选择而是必然之路。

在相当长的一段时间，由于PCB仿真软件使用复杂、缺乏必需的仿真模型、PCB仿真软件成本偏高等原因导致仿真在电路板级设计中没有得到普及。

随着集成电路的工作速度不断提高，电路的复杂性不断增加之后，多层板和高密度电路板的出现等等都对PCB板级设计提出了更新更高的要求。

尤其是半导体技术的飞速发展，数字器件复杂度越来越高，门电路的规模达到成千上万甚至上百万，现在一个芯片可以完成过去整个电路板的功能，从而使相同的PCB 上可以容纳更多的功能。

PCB已不仅仅是支撑电子元器件的平台，而变成了一个高性能的系统结构。

这样，信号完整性在PCB板级设计中成为了一个必须考虑的一个问题。

传统的PCB板的设计依次经过电路设计、版图设计、PCB制作等工序，而PCB的性能只有通过一系列仪器测试电路板原型来评定。

如果不能满足性能的要求，上述的过程就需要经过多次的重复，尤其是有些问题往往很难将其量化，反复多次就不可避免。

这些在当前激烈的市场竞争面前，无论是设计时间、设计的成本还是设计的复杂程度上都无法满足要求。

在现在的PCB板级设计中采用电路板级仿真已经成为必然。

基于信号完整性的PCB仿真设计就是根据完整的仿真模型通过对信号完整性的计算分析得出设计的解空间，然后在此基础上完成PCB设计，最后对设计进行验证是否满足预计的信号完整性要求。
