SB8000 Impedance field solver and layerstackup package 

 The SB8000 is a packaged combination of the Si8000 field solving impedance calculator and the SB200a professional layer stackup design system. If you need both impedance calculation and layerstackup / buildup documentation the SB8000 offers a considerable saving over purchasing separate licences

The SB8000 Impedance calculation and PCB layer stackup package is ideal for you if:

You need to calculate impedance requirements on multilayer boards with multiple controlled impedance structures per stack:

You need to make changes to the stack - for example substitute material in the case of a shortage, and rapidly check (for example) overall height, line width and transmission line impedance values.  By employing the link between the Si8000 field solver and the SB200 stackup / buildup software you can recalculate all the impedance values in a single pass in a fraction of the time taken traditionally.  

Should there be a need for any line width alteration the new build information can be rapidly communicated electronically, your colleagues being able to read the stack and impedance information with the new SB200 viewer.  (Free 12 month licences for the SB200 viewer are available from Polar)

 Clear concise documentation

Share and document stackup information in a clear and consistent format. Material usage and graphical stack up views can be printed or shared electronically in a format that is easily read by both interconnect designer and fabricator.

 Your materials:

PCB fabricators can build a library of commonly used materials and materials that are normally available from stock along with cost or performance information. Choosing the professional edition of the SB200 allows you to direct import your materials library in text delimited form. This information may be shared with interconnect designers. This means that designers can at a glance choose materials on a basis of cost / lead time / or performance.
