Integration between Xpedition AMS and HyperLynx Advanced 3D EM Solvers allows PCB parasitics to be accurately modeled and included in AMS simulations before PCB fabout, so that design adjustments can be made quickly and accurately, greatly increasing chances of first pass design success. <strong>Click image below to watch video<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/pcb\/multimedia\/player\/modeling-pcb-parasitics-for-analog-mixed-signal-simulation-3a4f4d49-b6ce-4993-adf2-57debd04469e?cmpid=9049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1361 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2019\/10\/Modeling-PCB-para-520x291.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like a preview of all the <strong><em>What\u2019s New in Xpedi<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>tion VX.2.6<\/em><\/strong> videos, please feel free to check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/pcb\/xpedition\/new-in-xpedition\/vx-2-6?cmpid=9049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>What\u2019s New in Xpedition\u00ae VX.2.6<\/strong><\/a> page.
