Gurus,
I recently heard a fellow say that SpecctraQuest is not an acceptable tool
for SI simulation (timing, signal quality) due to imperfections and/or bugs in
the program. Basically, the assertion was that the tool would not generate
correct results. I would like some opinions from industry experts as to the
viability of the tool.
The application I am interested in is board level simulation of digital
busses using IBIS models. I plan to use the tool primarily to investigate
solution space via flight time analysis. Signal quality issues (ringback,
non-monotonicities) would limit my solution space as well. Can this tool be
used for such a purpose, or does the SI community generally expect faulty
results from this tool? BTW, switching frequencies for most busses I would be
working on is less than 400 MT/s.
Are other SI experts in the industry using SpecctraQuest to simulate such
busses? Are other folks in the industry yielding accurate results using this
tool, or should I discount the use of this tool as a bad choice based on
collective industry experience?
Please respond... the more responses I get, the more confidence I have in
tool selection. I will post the results of poll as favorable # vs.
unfavorable # of responses should the forum be interested.
Thanks,
-A Concerned SI Guy
