New: Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension

Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension (powered by Ansys) provides users with the ability to analyze signal integrity issues within their designs and make sure they are meeting the necessary requirements for optimal performance.

With this extension, Fusion 360 users can leverage powerful signal analysis capabilities to evaluate their designs before committing to costly prototyping or production processes.

This extension also allows Fusion 360 users to identify potential problems related to power supply noise and crosstalk during high-speed digital operations. By providing insight into these issues prior to fabrication, Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension helps ensure that the end result meets all of a user’s expectations without any surprises along the way. 

What is the Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension? The Autodesk Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension, powered by Ansys, enables designers to analyze their PCB electromagnetic performance. With simple input parameters and configuration, engineers can select signals of interest for quick analysis. The results are rendered with a colored gradient, enabling designers to easily identify problematic signal paths and violations, allowing them to make design updates and mitigate signal impedance mismatches.

What are the benefits of the Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension?

• Ensure compliant smart products - Easily ensure your products’ high-speed, RF, and wireless capabilities meet your design specs and are compliant with industry standards, directives, and rules.
• Reduce development costs - Minimize costly PCB physical testing and board re-spins with access to feedback on your design’s electromagnetic performance.
• Get to market faster - Reduce the length of project timelines by reducing activities due to engineering change orders, multiple physical prototype PCB manufacturing, and physical EMC/EMI testing.

What’s available in the Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension?

• Simple configuration - With simple input parameters and configuration, engineers can select signals of interest for quick on-demand analysis.
• Signal insights - Analyze your design to inspect parameters that characterize high-speed signals, such as propagation delay, trace length, impedance, and coupling.
• Impedance matching - Manage and control the impedance for every transmission line throughout your board for a distortion-free and optimal high-speed performance design.
• Visual violation flagging - Easily and visually identify any potential impedance or coupling issues with a superimposed color-coded overlay on your 2D PCB design.
