Maynard, MA - January 27, 2003 - Signal Integrity Software, Inc. (SiSoft), a Massachusetts based
consulting services and EDA company, today announced the release of SiWorkBench, a
new graphical front-end capture system for their existing SiAuditor toolkit. SiWorkBench
provides SiAuditor users with an intuitive method for quickly capturing IC interfaces and electrical
interconnects and analyzing them for signal integrity, timing, and crosstalk.
"SiAuditor already provides the industry's most rigorous environment available for analyzing highspeed
systems," said Barry Katz, SiSoft's President and CTO. "SiSoft's Q2 release of SiAuditor,
with its new SiWorkBench functionality, will provide our customers with unprecedented capability
to solve today's tough system-level signal integrity and timing issues. Our new product
configuration will enable electrical and signal integrity engineers to quickly perform 'what if'
analysis, as well as exhaustive pre-layout and post-layout signal integrity, timing and crosstalk
analysis."
"The new SiAuditor release raises the bar in signal integrity analysis for complex multi-board
systems," said Douglas Burns, SiSoft's Chief Consultant. "SiAuditor checks every edge of every
simulation utilizing over 18 measurement levels, and gives us the capability to perform the most
rigorous waveform and eye diagram processing in the industry. Our SiAuditor product provides a
complete HSPICE/IBIS simulation environment for pre-layout and post-layout analysis, including
automatic setup of the post-layout simulations directly from the pre-layout database."
SiSoft's solution implements its Core-to-Core analysis methodology, which addresses critical
signal integrity and timing issues from the input of the driving I/O cell buffers to the output of the
receiving I/O cell buffers. SiSoft has created and patented an implementation independent net list
description (Transfer Net List) to implement its methodology. This approach describes how
devices are connected at a level of abstraction that automatically maps both the logical and
physical implementation to the Transfer Net List. In other words, the critical reusable information
is inherent in the data structure, facilitating easy reuse of analyzed data.
"Some of SiSoft's customers have shaved off more than 50% of their analysis time for complex,
multi-board systems," said Barry Katz. "This represents a savings of many man months of labor,
but more importantly, it can translate into millions of dollars when a company is able to meet
critical time to market windows."
Pricing and Availability
The new SiAuditor solution is available in Q2, 2003 from SiSoft. For more product information or
