Mentor plans circuit board design tool

Leaders of the Interconnectix business unit of Mentor Graphics Corp. in Wilsonville, Ore., are announcing a plan to help designers of high-speed printed circuit boards deal with signal integrity modeling issues. Interconnectix has made new I/O buffer interface specification modeling products available. These products are models that enable designers to identify digital signal integrity

problems that affect timing during board design. Mentor also created a process to model devices from several input sources and validate those models to ensure accuracy and quality.
