Open-source software tool for signal integrity
In order to avoid signal integrity issues in today’s world of gigabit-per-second transfer rates, engineers must have superior tools for the necessary combination of simulation, modeling and measurement. The goal of this software is to provide free tools for solving real-time signal integrity problems.
The new SignalIntegrity software provides extra analysis capabilities to Teledyne LeCroy’s WavePulser 40iX High-Speed Interconnect Analyzer, which is the ideal single measurement tool for high-speed hardware designers and test engineers. WavePulser’s combination of s-parameters and impedance profiles in a single acquisition with a deep toolbox provides unmatched characterization insight of high-speed interconnects.
Engineers in industries including computer, semiconductor and consumer electronics, data storage, automotive, industrial, military, aerospace and telecommunication markets work to test, design and understand signal integrity on protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet, Infiniband, Fibre Channel, USB, HDMI and SATA. With Teledyne LeCroy’s open-source software, engineers are now able to access the first-of-its-kind SignalIntegrity source code, and then modify and extend it to aid their work in test and design. The software can be used for linear circuit and system simulation solving for interconnected circuits and s-parameter blocks, de-embedding, virtual probing and viewing s-parameter files.
The open-source software SignalIntegrity is published in the Python Packaging Index (PyPI) at: https://pypi.org/project/SignalIntegrity
