With high frequency designs and components switching in the pico-second range and complex systems with extremely large numbers of subsystems, designers need tools to help them develop complex systems. Interconnectix tools (IS and IS Multiboard) insure that your designs and more importantly, high speed nets are routed to the electrical and manufacturing specifications or rules. In this tutorial, you will learn how to simplify complex systems by modeling subsystems that are used as plug-in cards, as Electrical Board Discriptions (EBDs). You will also learn the EBD format and how it is generated and used in the Interconnectix environment. You will learn how to analyze timing in the IS environment with EBDs versus the MultiBoard environment.
