HyperLynx AMS extends SPICE-based PCB analysis with mixed-signal simulation, parasitic analysis, and Xpedition integration helping verify real-world performance before fabrication.
What HyperLynx AMS Does
Simulate and validate electronic systems before physical prototyping.
Mixed-Signal, Mixed-Domain Analysis
SPICE & VHDL-AMS models in one environment covering time-domain simulation across electrical, electro-mechanical, & multi-discipline systems.
Seamless Schematic-to-Layout Flow
Create your schematic once. The same design drives both simulation and PCB layout in Xpedition no duplicate drawing, no data re-entry.
Advanced Parametric Simulation
Sweep parameters, explore sensitivities, predict manufacturing yields, & verify corner-case behaviour all on a virtual prototype before fabrication.
PCB Parasitic Impact Analysis
Incorporate real PCB layout parasitics into simulation so your analog and mixed-signal circuits are validated against physical behaviour.

PCB Parasitic Evaluation Workflow
Identify and mitigate signal integrity risks early in development.
PCB Parasitic Evaluation Workflow
Simulate the original design with ideal connections establishing a clean pre-layout performance baseline.
PCB Layout in Xpedition
Transition the verified schematic into Xpedition Layout with full data continuity between simulation and layout.
Extract PCB Parasitics
Use HyperLynx Advanced Solvers to extract parasitic values resistance, inductance, and capacitance from the PCB database.
Back-Annotate to Schematic
Apply extracted parasitics to the schematic in Xpedition Designer updating the model to reflect physical board behaviour.
Post-Layout Simulation
Re-run the simulation in HyperLynx AMS with parasitics included revealing how the physical layout affects circuit performance.
Compare & Resolve
Compare pre- and post-layout results to identify layout-related issues and resolve them before fabrication begins.
Xpedition Integration
Seamlessly connect design and simulation within a unified workflow.
Single Schematic Source
Create your schematic once in Xpedition Designer. The same design drives both HyperLynx AMS simulation and Xpedition Layout - eliminating duplicates.
Bi-Directional Design Flow
Simulation results feed directly back into the design - and layout parasitics can be back-annotated into the simulation in a closed-loop workflow.
Layout-Verified Performance
Validate analog and mixed-signal performance against the actual physical PCB before a single prototype is built.
