Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

Sign Up For Mentor’s July 21 Webinar: FPGA-PCB Co-design
July 9, 2020 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Today’s leading-edge systems require a modern FPGA I/O optimization interface that enables you to quickly perform pin swapping and layout-based I/O optimization within the PCB design flow. Fact is, the lack of, or poor FPGA I/O optimization often leads to longer routing cycles and longer trace lengths which in turn result in the need for additional signal layers and vias which can impact signal integrity. A design tool flow with FPGA I/O Optimizer technology eliminates the barriers between FPGA and PCB designers and provides “correct-by-construction” FPGA I/O assignment allowing pin swapping and layout-based I/O optimization within the PCB process.
The ability to read in, export and synchronize FPGA designers’ HDL and constraint files ensures full consistency during the iterative concurrent design process. Incidentally, it also allows creating high pin count FPGA PCB parts ready for instantiation in minutes. Modern FPGA I/O optimization helps you not only accelerate design time-to-market, but also reduces manufacturing costs.
In this webinar by Mentor, a Siemens business, attendees will learn how modern FPGA I/O optimization can help you not only accelerate design time-to-market, but also reduce manufacturing costs.
What Attendees Will Learn
- How to create a multi-thousand pin FPGA part in minutes
- How to enable collaboration between FPGA and PCB designers
- How to optimize FPGA pin assignment in the context of the PCB layout
Who Should Attend
- Electrical engineers
- PCB designers
- Engineering managers
- Anyone interested in FPGA-PCB co-design
