What is BS IEC 63055 - Format for LSI-Package-Board interoperable design about?
BS IEC 63055 is an international standard that discusses the format for LSI-Package-Board interoperable design.
BS IEC 63055 defines a common interoperable format that will be used for the design of a) large-scale integration (LSI), b) packages for such LSI, and c) printed circuit boards on which the packaged LSI are interconnected. Collectively, such designs are referred to as” LSI-Package-Board” (LPB) designs. The format provides a common way to specify information/data about the project management, netlists, components, design rules, and geometries used in LPB designs.
Who is BS IEC 63055 - Format for LSI-Package-Board interoperable design for?
BS IEC 63055 on the format for LSI-Package-Board interoperable design is useful for:
- LPB designers
- LPB technician
- EDA vendors
- Computer industry
- Industries involved in LPB
Why should you use BS IEC 63055 - Format for LSI-Package-Board interoperable design?
To deal with the increasing difficulty of design and the cost competitiveness of the global market, and to shorten the development term, innovative design methodologies should be implemented. It has been difficult to achieve the optimization of an entire set of large-scale integrated (LSI) circuits, packages, and boards (LPB) using individual design processes for each LPB part.
The general purpose of BS IEC 63055 is to develop a common format that LPB design tools can use to exchange information/data seamlessly, as opposed to having to work with multiple different input and output formats.
LPB format will facilitate the exchange of design information. BS IEC 63055 provides the ability to plan the entire design at an early stage. In effect, the post-design analysis will be possible throughout the entire LPB design process. Analysis of each part of the design can be examined in relation to all other parts of the design, to determine the optimal point to give feedback for appropriate design changes throughout the LPB. This will promote the overall optimization of the design process.
By using the BS IEC 63055 LPB Format for distributing information, each LPB technician will be able to have the same understanding of the challenges at an early stage. As a result, adjustments at the conceptual design stage can be made, before detailed designs are developed. By making clear the overall LPB product specifications, the design target can be decided, and so the duration of individual designs can be shortened. The use of the LPB Format also helps to reduce the number of design iterations, because the design quality is enhanced. The designers can collect all information for simulation using the LPB formats, thereby reducing production time.
The LPB format can enable the entire analysis easily so that sufficient verification can be done and the quality of the products can be improved. As a result, the period of adjustment in the set can be shortened and the time to market can be accelerated. With the LPB Format, the design method for one product can be applied to the design environment for the next product in development.
Thus, BS IEC 63055 prevents misunderstanding of design information and improves the information flow in the whole industry. As the result, quality, cost, and delivery time (QCD) will be improved.
