Overview

Building a Working System Today Requires Knowledge of More than Just Digital Logic.

The resources on this page are designed to give you everything you need to achieve reliable system-level designs with AMD adaptive SoCs and FPGAs on the first try.

Signal Integrity (SI) Fundamental Tools and Models

AMD provides an extensive collection of documentation and tools for simulation. We support signal integrity simulation models and design kits:

PCB Design Tools

Feature size reduction and the need for reduced power consumption have driven core voltages down from the old standard of 3.3V to the 0.9V range. This change in voltage and signal frequency content requires us to use new design practices that take into account electrical effects that could previously be ignored.

Calculators and Estimators

When designing a board with elaborate ICs, such as with adaptive SoCs and FPGAs, it is important to calculate the device demand on the PCB and vice-versa. Below you will find information on signal integrity, static and dynamic power, and SSO:

Power Supply and Power Distribution System (PDS)

With a noisy or under-rated power supply, a circuit board is an expensive piece of garbage.
