Fujitsu Semiconductor uses Mentor's Graphics HyperLynx Signal Integrity tech

Mentor Graphics Corporation has announced that Fujitsu Semiconductor has standardized on the Mentor Graphics HyperLynx Signal Integrity technology as the company's LSI-IC Packaging (PKG)-Printed Circuit Board (PCB) co-design tool for fast and accurate high-speed simulation and analysis. Mentor says for today's highly functional end products, bus speeds are increasingly getting faster and the demand for noise timing-aware LSI-PKG-PCB co-design is increasing. Fujitsu Semiconductor adopted the HyperLynx product suite to address problems caused by high-speed signals throughout the design cycle, from early architectural stages through post-layout verification, adds Mentor.

"Fujitsu Semiconductor is working with its customers and partners to provide solutions for the ever-evolving complexity of signal and power integrity issues in more advanced processes. We have positioned HyperLynx as our company and our customers' analysis tool that has been widely popular in our customers' PCB design workflow, and in collaboration with Mentor Graphics, we developed a design kit that accurately and quickly analyzes the signal integrity and timing of PCBs by addressing the noise and timing influences of LSI and PKG on HyperLynx," said Naoshi Higaki, Deputy General Manager of SoC Design Engineering Division, Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited. "By using this design kit as our company and customers' common environment, it enhances our customers' final products with higher reliability, design productivity, and cost-effective development."
