Version 6.1, the latest release of UPD, debuts an enhanced electrically aware design environment based on Sigrity's industry-proven SpeedXP technology. Major new components include an embedded electrical parameter extractor for generating highly accurate parasitic models of wirebonds, traces, vias, pads and other components; an expanded electrical constraint set; electrically aware design rule checking; and enhanced parasitic reporting.
Using UPD, users now can define electrical constraints for timing, allowable coupling, target impedance, and parasitic thresholds, in addition to substrate and assembly-based constraints. According to Kwok Keung Szeto, Senior Manager of the Technology Division at STATS ChipPAC, "Having the embedded electrical parameter extractor and constraints integrated within a single tool enables our engineers to immediately verify compliance with performance objectives, and reduces the iterations of using separate tools. STATS ChipPAC fully supports Sigrity's commitment to continuously enhance UPD, and is benefiting significantly from the integration between the SpeedXP technology and UPD."
Jiayuan Fang, president of Sigrity, added, "The 6.1 release of UPD is the first of several that will incorporate new signal and power integrity analysis capabilities based on our SpeedXP technology. We are pleased that companies like STATS ChipPAC, which are driven by customers to provide design services that can quickly and accurately address the electrically constrained content of their designs, now have a more convenient way to do this. Embedding our electrical parameter extractor into UPD provides a unique, easy-to-use solution that is well integrated and supported by a single company."
