Qualitas Uses SerDes Toolbox to Streamline Development and Accelerate Time to Market
“The SerDes design, analysis, and IBIS-AMI model creation capabilities are superior to those from other companies we previously used in terms of compatibility, usability, and time to market.”
Key Outcomes
- Reduced development time for the IBIS-AMI model by 30–40% using SerDes Toolbox
- Eliminated Linux compatibility issues, saving about 40% of time needed for model management
- Enabled designers to collaborate more easily and effectively for Model-Based Design using Simulink
SerDes Toolbox enables Qualitas designers to explore various solution spaces and review the test results together with SerDes architect engineers and signal integrity engineers.
Based in Korea, Qualitas Semiconductor is a leader in high-speed interconnect technology. The company’s experts are skilled in the design, prototyping, and verification of all manufacturing processes for comprehensive high-speed interconnect solutions. Their products are used in various fields, including AI, autonomous driving, augmented reality, and virtual reality.
Qualitas designs its own SerDes IP, and sometimes customers ask the company to develop the IBIS-AMI model of predesigned hardware. The IBIS-AMI model generated from SerDes Toolbox™ enables Qualitas designers to explore various solution spaces and review the test results together with SerDes architect engineers and signal integrity engineers. This has helped Qualitas reduce development time for the IBIS-AMI model by 30–40%.
Qualitas had initially experienced several Linux® version compatibility issues for IBIS-AMI with a tool from another third-party vendor. Now it generates a highly compatible IBIS-AMI model with the click of a button using SerDes Toolbox. Linux compatibility issues have been eliminated, which saves about 40% of the time needed for model management.
Qualitas also uses Simulink® for Model-Based Design. This has enabled designers to break down components based on requirements and test in one model, making it easier to collaborate more effectively. As a result, Qualitas has been able to streamline development processes and hence accelerate time to market.
