Due to fundamental inaccuracies, they leave too much potential on the table. Interconnect synthesis is the breakthrough methodology for the design, analysis, and verification of board and system level interconnects. If you need to maximize the performance of your board designs while speeding delivery to market, you need interconnect synthesis. Verification as a post-route process is no longer required. With no time wasted developing geometric rules and performing iterative spins, interconnect synthesis dramatically shortens the time it takes to bring a design to market.
Traditional methodologies implement designs by following rigid geometric design rules.
A time-consuming process, the development of geometric rules also forces the engineer to make assumptions and approximations, resulting in overly conservative design practices. For example, without knowing the actual signal propagation, an engineer considering crosstalk effects must design for absolute worst case conditions, thus over-constraining the design. Throughout the design process, interconnect synthesis leverages the analysis of the actual design, using accurate device models, to ensure the resulting physical layout meets the original electrical specifications. By concurrently verifying the design against the electrical requirements, conservative practices associated with traditional physical constraint methodologies are eliminated and maximum performance is realized. A superior alternative to traditional EDA, interconnect synthesis provides a top-down methodology that allows the design team to quickly and accurately assess tradeoffs early in the design process, thus improving product performance and reliability.
