Ansoft Releases Nexxim v4 and Ansoft Designer v4

Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST) has released new versions of
Nexxim�, the company�s high-capacity circuit simulation software,
and Ansoft Designer�, its integrated schematic and design
management software. The products include new statistical analysis
and transient simulation capabilities that allow engineers to
rapidly simulate high-speed serial channel behavior. This
eliminates prototype iterations that require expensive test
equipment and multiple spins that delay time-to-market. Modern
electronic products use gigabit-speed serial links to move large
quantities of digital data across today�s telecommunication,
high-definition video, gaming and data storage systems. Ansoft�s
electromagnetic modeling and advanced circuit simulation are
essential for designing these data links. Serial link standards,
such as PCI Express, Serial ATA, Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI have
very stringent accuracy requirements, allowing only one bit in
billions to be in error. Previous methods for simulating link
performance required long simulation times to capture these low bit
error rates (BERs). The new technologies give engineers methods to
rapidly predict system-level performance with eye diagram plots and
BER curves. Nexxim v4 features VerifEye�, a new methodology for eye
analysis of serial links using statistical methods that maintain
accuracy while offering major reductions in run time compared to
conventional transient methods. These statistical transient
analysis tools represent the most practicable means to test for the
low bit error rates needed by today�s multi-Gb/s channel designers.
Nexxim v4 also features QuickEye�, a new Ansoft-only fast eye
diagram analysis method that allows input of very long,
user-defined bit streams. This analysis allows engineers to
identify specific bit sequences that cause bit errors.
Additionally, Nexxim v4 features new mixed system-level behavioral
simulation with transistor-level transient simulation. This hybrid
integration enables designers to simulate a complete system
consisting of various levels of abstraction much more quickly than
in simulators that operate at only the transistor level. Ansoft
Designer v4 features a new �push excitation� feature and enhanced
dynamic links to Nexxim and to Ansoft�s leading electromagnetic
field simulation tools HFSS�, SIwave� and Q3D Extractor�. These
products combine to allow engineers to accurately predict signal
integrity effects and EMI/EMC performance of advanced electronic
systems, including gigabit communication channels, multi-function
high-speed wireless systems and sophisticated microwave systems.
