Bring High-Speed PCB Designs to Market Faster
From schematic analysis and pre-layout simulation through post-layout verification and design optimization, HyperLynx helps engineering teams identify signal integrity, power integrity, EMI, timing, and electrical issues before manufacturing—so you can deliver higher-quality products faster with less risk.
Reduce PCB Design Risk Before It Impacts Cost & Schedule
As electronic products become faster and increasingly complex, electrical issues discovered late in development can result in costly PCB respins, project delays, and missed market opportunities. Traditional design reviews and disconnected analysis tools can make it difficult to identify critical issues until significant engineering time has already been invested.
As part of the Siemens electronics design ecosystem, HyperLynx connects advanced analysis and verification with the PCB design process, helping engineering teams move from design intent to verified performance with greater speed, confidence, and efficiency. By combining simulation, automated verification, electromagnetic analysis, optimization, and AI-infused design capabilities, HyperLynx helps engineering teams shift analysis earlier, expand verification across the design team, and identify problems before they become costly.
The result: fewer design iterations, more efficient use of engineering expertise, and greater confidence in first-pass success.
Why Organizations Choose HyperLynx
Shift-Left Verification With Progressive Analysis
Move analysis earlier in the design cycle to identify issues before they become expensive to fix. HyperLynx progressively applies SI, PI, EMI, timing, and electrical analysis throughout development, reducing late-stage surprises and costly redesign.
Increase First-Pass Success With Early Verification
Simulate and verify electrical performance before building physical hardware. Identify and resolve issues earlier to reduce redesign and increase confidence in getting the PCB right the first time.
Democratize PCB Analysis Across the Engineering Team
Make foundational SI, PI, EMI, and electrical verification accessible to more designers with intuitive workflows, automation, and guided analysis. HyperLynx handles repetitive tasks so SI/PI experts can focus on the highest-risk and most complex engineering challenges.

HyperLynx Key Capabilities
Schematic Analysis
Pre-Layout Design Simulation
Model and simulate circuit behavior before PCB layout to establish constraints, evaluate performance, explore design alternatives, and resolve issues before they become more difficult and costly to change.
Signal Integrity Analysis
Analyze high-speed digital designs for signal quality, timing, impedance, reflections, crosstalk, skew, eye openings, and other critical characteristics through both pre-layout exploration and post-layout verification.
Power Integrity Analysis
Analyze DC and AC power delivery networks for voltage drop, current density, impedance, decoupling, and overall PDN performance. Pre- and post-layout analysis helps identify issues early and optimize power delivery strategies.
Analog & Mixed-Signal Analysis
Simulate analog, mixed-signal, and multi-domain systems using SPICE and VHDL-AMS models. Evaluate performance, sensitivities, manufacturing yield, and worst-case conditions while accounting for PCB layout effects.
PCB Design Rule Verification
Automatically identify electrical, analog, EMI, signal integrity, power integrity, packaging, compliance, and electrical safety issues with configurable design rule checking—reducing manual inspection and catching problems earlier.
Electromagnetic (EM) Modeling
Perform integrated 2D, 2.5D, and 3D electromagnetic modeling for complex PCB and electronic structures, supporting signal integrity, power integrity, DDR, high-speed serial, and system-level analysis.
Progressive Verification
Analyze designs progressively, from fast automated rule checks to detailed compliance analysis and complex simulation. This approach helps identify issues earlier, reduce verification bottlenecks, and focus SI/PI experts on the most challenging problems.
Stackup Design Optimization
Design and validate PCB stackups using accurate material libraries, field solvers, impedance calculations, loss planning, and manufacturing-aware planning. Ensure pre-layout simulations use accurate stackup data for consistent verification.
Design Space Exploration & Optimization
Efficiently evaluate design alternatives to identify optimal solutions, understand performance tradeoffs, and assess design behavior across a broad range of conditions without running every possible simulation.
DDR & High-Speed Serial Interface Verification
Perform protocol-aware analysis for DDR3–DDR5, LPDDR, SerDes, and other high-speed interfaces using standards-based compliance analysis, automated topology extraction, and vendor-specific IBIS-AMI simulation.
Unified Pre- & Post-Layout Verification
Maintain consistent analysis from early design exploration through final post-layout verification. Compare pre-layout expectations with post-layout results to identify issues introduced during routing and resolve them before fabrication.
