TTSG Installs Ansoft PCB Design Suite
November 9, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
PENANG, Malaysia Test Tooling Solutions Group (TTSG), a global manufacturer of automated test equipment (ATE) for the semiconductor industry, adopted Ansoft Corporation's PCB design suite. The tooling provider will use Ansoft products on design flows that link process-accurate models of board-level structures to advanced circuit and system simulations.
TTSG will use HFSS, Nexxim, Ansoft Designer, and Optimetrics. It will use HFSS to model 3D structures such as spring contact probes, and then extract frequency-based circuit models for these structures. Extracted sub-circuit models will be inserted into full-channel models, which will then be simulated in the Ansoft Designer/Nexxim environment. Optimetrics will be used to test design changes, visualize trade-offs, and identify best design solutions prior to fabrication. Distributed Solve will reduce simulation times by running parallel simulations across TTSG's compute farm.
This combination of design and simulation is expected to allow TTSG designers to predict system-level behavior prior to device fabrication, according to S.L. Wee, president and CEO, TTSG. This reportedly will reduce first-run failures, speed turnaround, and improve intellectual property (IP).
