The Gigabit Backplane Signal Integrity Design Kit is based on the Xilinx MK322 Evaluation Board for the Xilinx Virtex-II™ Pro X FPGA. This virtual design kit provides Ansoft parameterized circuit, planar electromagnetic (EM), and 3D EM models, which can be used to correlate simulation with measured results. The real power of this kit, however, is the ability to perform extremely accurate what-if analysis, in both the time and frequency domain, for a variety of layout and design modifications.
The Gigabit Backplane Signal Integrity Design Kit includes HFSS™ and Ansoft Designer® models for the transmission path including the FPGA package, transmission lines, differential via, and connectors. The kit also includes the full, 10gigabit channel circuit and system model, ready to solve, in Ansoft Designer.
