Mike,
Would you buy a car before you test drove it ?
There are many good simulators available. I would recommend doing some
research, you might try;
http://www.scs.ch/~andrew/hsdd/simulation_tools.html there are alot of
other good places too.
Narrow the field down to a few you want to test drive, then obtain demo
copies of the software from your local rep. You will learn a lot going
through the exercise, and usually the best attention/support is a pre-sales
evaluation.
regards,

Subject: [SI-LIST] : HSPICE and XTK
Hello,
I am currently looking to get myself some signal integrity software and I
keep hearing wonderful things about Innoveda's XTK and bad things about
Avanti! Hspice (see below). Is it really true? Is XTK really that wonderful?
I will be simulating traces on boards, will XTK be able to successfully run
a multi-board simulation? Will I have problems converting vendor's IBIS
models into XTK format? What about translating board layout into lossy line
models inside XTK? What about converting SPICE connector models in XTK
format? Are there any caveats to using XTK?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
