Add-In Module Makes Spice Design Aid More Versatile

Spicelink 4.5 software now includes Optimetrics, an add-on module for the company's signal integrity tools. This module provides parametric and optimization capabilities to optimize printed circuit board, IC packaging, and connector designs. The application is now able to place parametric controls on geometry, shape and position, set design criteria for acceptable performance, vary material properties, alter boundary conditions, and utilize mathematical optimization methods to fine-tune and established the optimum design.
