SPIPro Specifications:

Overview

The SI study involves

The model creation of the components.
Optimization of the variables.
Arranging models in channel as in the design.
Simulation
Result Analysis &
Error corrections

SPIPro has useful Modules for the complete SI study. It has modules for

Modelling

BPro – for IBIS model creation, tuning & editing. T-Pro- for layer stack up, trace planning & .tab model creation. SPro – for studying S-Param models in detail.

Optimization

The XPro module helps in tuning the models with various what-if scenarios.

Modules for Extracting & Arranging Channels

NPro- for board file opening & channel extractions in case of post layout studies. C-Pro – for creating channels & model assigns in case of pre layout studies.

Simulation in SPIPro is performed via the inbuilt 2D field solver the “SSolver”.

Modules for Analysis

VPro & DPro helps in analyzing the simulation results.

Statistical Modelling & Solution Space Finding : MPro- is a general statistical module which helps in optimizing the variables via sampling, trend models and linear programming.
