Speedstack Si  is a packaged combination of the Si9000 field solving pcb transmission line design system and Speedstack professional layer stackup design software. If you need both powerful and accurate field solvers to predict your pcb performance and layer stackup / buildup documentation the Speedstack Si offers a considerable saving over purchasing separate licences

Speedstack Si is ideal for you if:

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

  • You need to extract engineering information to drive simulation software, prior to committing a design into production.

  • You need to experiment with differing stack up approaches - 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 Si9000e transmission line design system and Speedstack 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.

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 Speedstack Si 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.
