Hi Pratap, As Steve mentions if you are looking at DDR technology it is better to upgrade to HyperLynx 8.0 and use Mentor App Notes to create a timing model for your memory controller. Then the tool will do the job for you, so you don’t have to do manually timing budgets. You can check Micron’s web site as well for good App Notes: http://www.micron.com/products/dram/ddr/technotes.aspx In case if you are not looking at DDR technology here is a document from TI explaining in detail the recommended methodology: http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spra839a/spra839a.pdf For pre-layout analysis you will have to build topologies in LineSim and get the fligth time from simulation. If you have a routed board, you can run Generic Batch Simulation from BoardSim and get the compensated fligth times. Both HL7.7 and HL8.0 will work. Hope this helps, Cristian --- On Wed, 2/24/10, Kaufer, Steve <steve_kaufer@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Kaufer, Steve <steve_kaufer@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Source Synchronous timing analysis > To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "pratap simha" <pratapasimha@xxxxxxxxx> > Received: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 10:55 PM > Pratap, > > If you're thinking about DDRx interfaces, you're using the > wrong version of HyperLynx. v8.0 has a feature which does > all of the work for you: automated SI and timing analysis > for DDRx, with setup in a step-by-step wizard.
