Xilinx, an Ansoft software partner, leads one of the fastest growing segments of the semiconductor industry: programmable logic devices. Xilinx develops, manufactures, and markets a broad line of advanced integrated circuits, software design tools, and intellectual property. Customers use the automated tools and intellectual property from Xilinx and its partners to program the chips to perform custom logic operations.

THE NEED
To help Xilinx customers make their signal launches more transparent

THE SOLUTION
HFSS™, Ansoft Designer®

Xilinx uses HFSS for 3D electromagnetic simulation, optimization, S-parameter results, and TDR/TDT results, and Ansoft Designer for eye-diagram results.

"In high-speed PCB design, it's astonishing how much extra performance you can obtain from off-the-shelf components when you optimize them with HFSS," said Suresh Subramaniam, Senior Design Engineer at Xilinx. "With high-speed digital and analog RF components becoming more common in high-performance Xilinx PCB designs, using HFSS is necessary to assure the correct performance of the end design."
