Synopsys Announces DesignWare DDR PHY Signal Integrity Service
Synopsys, Inc., a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, announced a service that delivers a customized signal integrity report to help designers verify their DDR3/2 timing budgets and printed circuit board environments. As DDR SDRAMs operate at faster speeds, the effects induced by the high data rate can degrade the electrical signal to the point where errors result and the receiver does not interpret the data properly. The DesignWare® DDR PHY signal integrity service examines the entire memory subsystem extending far beyond the DDR PHY to help ensure the robustness of the electrical signaling within the system. If necessary, the service offers recommendations for improved performance.
