Hello, Is it possible to use ICX with mentor expedition PCB or do I need board station?. I would appreciate if someone could explain me the difference between these software packs and, also tell me if it is possible to use ICX with other PCB design tools from Cadence or Zuken. Anyone is using Tau from Mentor? any opinion? Thanks a lot and Best regards, Javi -----Mensaje original----- De: gregory.heiler@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:gregory.heiler@xxxxxxxxx] Enviado el: viernes 22 de febrero de 2002 3:01 Para: imsong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: sunilb@xxxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Asunto: [SI-LIST] Re: accuracy of ICX From: Gregory N Heiler We have been using ICX for several years and routinely do lab verification and correlation work. A majority of the time the waveforms match up fairly well. Occasionally they don't and we usually track it down to model problems. Most of this work to date has been for >=1ns edge rates and <= 100MHz clocks. We have some more complex design work underway but correlation work won't happen for a while. We have not completed any xtalk correlation work yet. We're are currently in the middle of an effort to understand a lack of agreement on a complex ,center terminated, star topology. Naturally, it's either models, simulator, measurement technique or other design factors influencing performance. This one is going to take some effort to resolve.

I am using ICX for about 3 years and have got the same question. But now, the equipment such as oscillosope, network analyzer is not believable. For example, the pcb manufacturers are sure that as the Impedance TDR, the Impedance value is not same with TDR vendors. As a result, which one is better between physical prototype and virtual prototype. I don't know more but I am preparing the comparison oscillosope's waveform and probing result in ICX. Good luck.

Due to time constraint, I can not practically test the accuracy of the tool by making a prototype. Can anybody provide me details on IS_Floorplanner's accuracy, particularly in the case of crosstalk analysis?
