TIP: The visualization is convenient to spot-analyze the results, but more detailed findings exist. Click the View Impedance Tables option within the Analysis Workflows panel, and you will get a full breakdown of all the traces and their impedances shown below. Now you don't have to always use TopXplorer to find out whether your traces meet the impedance design requirements. Next is coupling analysis to see how much crosstalk is on your traces, both visually and tabularly. Coupling Analysis for Crosstalk The next analysis we will look at is for coupling. Some traces can tolerate a certain level of coupling on them from aggressor traces before the signals are unacceptable. The coupling analysis provides tables and visual indicators of how much coupling and crosstalk are present on them at any time. That way, you can quickly test and iterate through your design decisions and adjust your routing accordingly. To run coupling analysis do the following: 1. Go to View – Panels – Analysis Workflows. 97 www.cadence.com OrCAD X Constraint Management Guide
