CST Announces Two Products for SI/PI & EMC/EMI Analysis

By DE Editors

Computer Simulation Technology (CST; Santa Clara, CA) announced two new products to CST STUDIO SUITE — CST PCB STUDIO and CST CABLE STUDIO. The development is a result of the acquisition of a stake in SimLab Software GmbH in 2007, the company says.

Design engineers and researchers interested in SI/PI and EMC/EMI analysis will benefit from efficient, proven simulation algorithms, and advanced imports through full integration in CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT.

CST PCB STUDIO and CST CABLE STUDIO can expose EMC issues early in the design process, reducing the number of expensive cut and try iterations. CST PCB STUDIO is a specialist tool for the investigation of Signal and Power Integrity and the simulation of EMC and EMI effects on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). Applications include high speed digital, analog/mixed signal, and power supply. It seamlessly integrates into various design flows, calculating parasitic crosstalk effects and simulating the electronic network in time or frequency domain. The interface with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO (CST MWS) enables linking PCB simulations with subsequent full 3D analysis of electromagnetic emissions.

CST CABLE STUDIO is focused on the analysis of SI, EMC and EMI effects in cable harness systems. Both tools will be fully integrated in CST DESIGN ENVIRONMENT with CST STUDIO SUITE version 2009, previewed for release in Q4 2008. Test versions will be available from May 2008.
