[0031] Figure 1 The main steps of the simulation test method of the domain controller in the embodiment of the present invention are shown; Figure 1 As shown, the simulation test method of the domain controller provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0032] S100, obtaining material parameters of a domain controller circuit board.
[0033] A domain controller circuit board primarily refers to a PCB stacked with Prepreg and Core dielectrics. Material parameters can be determined through measurement and the properties of the dielectric itself.
[0034] S200 , simulating target parameters of the domain controller circuit board according to the material parameters to obtain simulation data.
[0035] The target parameters can be obtained through simulation calculation based on the material parameters.
[0036] S300, determine whether the simulation data is qualified, if so, execute step S400, if not, at least adjust the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board and return to step S100.
[0037] As mentioned above, the domain controller circuit board is built by interconnecting the copper foil carrier on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The longer the distance between the copper foil carriers that achieve interconnection, the greater the corresponding impedance and loss. Based on this principle, if the simulation data is unqualified, the simulation data can be adjusted by adjusting the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board, such as reducing the distance between the copper foil carriers that achieve interconnection between circuit modules.
[0038] S400: Test target parameters of the domain controller circuit board to obtain test results.
[0039] Test results are data on target parameters obtained under real test scenarios.
[0040] S500, determine whether the simulation data is consistent with the test result, if so, complete the simulation test of the domain controller circuit board, if not, at least adjust the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board and return to step S100.
[0041] By adjusting the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board, the simulation data and test results are adjusted, and the simulation data and test results are continuously fitted to make them consistent.
[0042] The above-mentioned domain controller simulation test method is used to simulate the target parameters of the domain controller circuit board in the early stages of domain controller design and before production, so as to determine in advance whether the target parameters of the domain controller circuit board are within a reasonable range. If not, the target parameters of the domain controller circuit board can be adjusted to meet the requirements by adjusting the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board. The target parameters of the domain controller circuit board are then tested. If the test results are inconsistent with the simulation data, the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board can be further adjusted to make the test and simulation fit until the simulation data is consistent with the test results. In this way, the simulation accuracy can be greatly improved, thereby accurately evaluating the design performance of the domain controller product and improving the design efficiency of the domain controller product.
[0043] Figure 2 The topology of the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board is shown. Figure 3 The steps of simulating the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board are shown; Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a simulation test method for a domain controller is used to simulate a voltage drop between a source circuit module and a terminal circuit module of a domain controller circuit board, including the following steps. The domain controller circuit board includes a source circuit module and multiple terminal circuit modules. Simulating the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board refers to separately simulating the voltage drop between the source circuit module and each terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board; Figure 3 The simulation test steps shown refer to performing a simulation test on the voltage drop between the source circuit module and a terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board.
[0044] S100a, obtaining the thickness and dielectric constant of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board.
[0045] Specifically, material parameters include the thickness and dielectric constant of the film layer between the source and terminal circuit modules of the domain controller circuit board. The dielectric constant (Dk), also known as the dielectric constant or permittivity, is an essential factor in PCB impedance design. It refers to the energy storage capacity of the vacuum-enhanced material and is an inherent electrical property of the material.
[0046] S200a, simulating the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board according to the thickness and dielectric constant of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module to obtain simulation data.
[0047] That is, the target parameter specifically includes the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module.
[0048] S300a, obtain a first difference between the simulation data and the target value of the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module, and determine whether the first difference is within a preset range. If so, execute step S400a. If not, adjust the thickness of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module based on the relationship that the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module is proportional to the thickness of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module, and return to step S100a.
[0049] That is, determining whether the simulation data is qualified includes: obtaining a first difference between the simulation data and a target value of a target parameter, and determining whether the first difference is within a preset range. The target value can be a specific value or a range of values; the first difference can be calculated as a ratio, such as the ratio of the difference between the simulation data and the target value of the target parameter to the target value of the target parameter. Correspondingly, the preset range is a preset ratio, such as a suitable ratio of 3%.
[0050] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the longer the distance between the copper foil carriers that interconnect the circuit modules, the greater the corresponding impedance. Given a fixed current, it can be determined that the voltage drop between circuit modules is proportional to the impedance, and furthermore, that the voltage drop between circuit modules is proportional to the thickness of the film layer.
[0051] S400a: Test the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board to obtain a test result.
[0052] S500a, obtain a second difference between the test result and the target value of the target parameter, and determine whether the difference between the second difference and the first difference is within a predetermined range. If so, complete the simulation test of the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board. If not, adjust the thickness of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module based on the relationship that the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module is proportional to the thickness of the film layer between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module, and return to step S100a.
[0053] That is, determining whether the simulation data is consistent with the test result includes obtaining a second difference between the test result and the target value of the target parameter, and determining whether the difference between the second difference and the first difference is within a predetermined range. The second difference can be calculated as a proportional value, such as the ratio of the difference between the test result and the target value of the target parameter to the target value of the target parameter; correspondingly, the predetermined range is a predetermined proportional value, such as a suitable proportional value such as 5%.
[0054] Through the above-mentioned simulation test method of the domain controller, the voltage drop between the source circuit module and the terminal circuit module of the domain controller circuit board can be simulated and fitted, which can greatly improve the simulation accuracy, so as to accurately evaluate the design performance of the domain controller product and improve the design efficiency of the domain controller product. The simulation data finally obtained can be used for the production of the domain controller to ensure the product performance of the produced domain controller.
[0055] Figure 4 The topology of the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board is shown. Figure 5 The steps of simulating the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board are shown; Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a simulation test method of a domain controller is used to simulate the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board, including the following steps. The domain controller circuit board includes a main chip and multiple slave chips. The simulation test of the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board refers to the simulation test of the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip of the domain controller circuit board and each slave chip separately; Figure 5 The simulation test steps shown are to simulate the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and a slave chip of the domain controller circuit board.
[0056] S100b, obtaining the thickness, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board.
[0057] That is, material parameters include the thickness, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board. The dielectric loss factor (Df), also known as the damping factor, internal dissipation, or loss tangent, is the tangent of the phase difference between the strain and stress cycles of a material under an alternating force field. It is also equal to the ratio of the material's loss modulus to the storage modulus (in layman's terms, the ratio of the energy lost in the insulating material to the energy remaining in the signal line).
[0058] S200b, simulating the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board according to the thickness, dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip to obtain simulation data.
[0059] The main chip and the slave chip are interconnected through differential routing to transmit differential signals. The target parameters include insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip.
[0060] Furthermore, the main chip and the slave chip each include two ports, for example Figure 4 The figure shows that the differential signal is output from the P1 port and the P3 port of the master chip and input to the P2 port and the P4 port of a slave chip. In step S200b, the insertion loss and return loss between the master chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board are simulated, including:
[0061] Calculate the S-parameter matrix Where Sij represents the energy injected from port j and measured at port i; for example, S 11 It is defined as the square root of the ratio of the energy reflected from the P1 port to the input energy, which can also be simplified as the ratio of the equivalent reflected voltage to the equivalent incident voltage;
[0062] Insertion loss SDD21 and return loss SDD11 are calculated using the formulas SDD21 = 0.5 × (S21 + S43 - S41 - S23) and SDD11 = 0.5 × (S11 - S13 - S31 + S33). Return loss SDD11 represents the difference between the reflected energy on the two lines divided by the incident energy, and insertion loss SDD21 represents the difference between the transmitted energy on the two lines divided by the incident energy.
[0063] S300b, use the IBIS-AMI model to perform transient simulation on the simulation data to obtain a first eye diagram, and determine whether the first eye diagram is consistent with the standard eye diagram of the target parameter. If so, execute step S400b; if not, adjust the thickness of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip based on the relationship that the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip are proportional to the thickness of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip. You can also adjust the model parameters of the IBIS-AMI model, and return to step S100b.
[0064] That is, judging whether the simulation data is qualified includes: using the IBIS-AMI model to perform transient simulation on the simulation data to obtain a first eye diagram, and judging whether the first eye diagram is consistent with a standard eye diagram of the target parameters; wherein the first eye diagram and the standard eye diagram can be eye diagrams under a bit error rate of 1-e^12.
[0065] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the longer the distance between the copper foil carriers that interconnect the circuit modules, the greater the corresponding loss. Therefore, adjusting the material parameters of the domain controller circuit board includes adjusting the thickness of the film between the main and secondary chips, based on the relationship that the insertion loss and return loss between the two chips are proportional to the thickness of the film between the main and secondary chips. Furthermore, the model parameters of the IBIS-AMI model can be adjusted to obtain a more accurate eye diagram.
[0066] S400b: Test the insertion loss and return loss between the primary chip and the secondary chip of the domain controller circuit board to obtain test results. The ports used for simulation and testing must be consistent.
[0067] S500b, use the IBIS-AMI model to perform transient simulation on the test results to obtain a second eye diagram, and determine whether the second eye diagram is consistent with the first eye diagram. If so, complete the simulation test of the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board. If not, adjust the thickness of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip based on the relationship that the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip are proportional to the thickness of the film layer between the main chip and the slave chip. You can also adjust the model parameters of the IBIS-AMI model, and return to step S100b.
[0068] Specifically, determining whether the simulation data is consistent with the test results includes performing a transient simulation of the test results using the IBIS-AMI model to obtain a second eye diagram, and determining whether the second eye diagram is consistent with the first eye diagram. The second eye diagram is also an eye diagram at a bit error rate of 1-e^12. If the second eye diagram is inconsistent with the first eye diagram, the model parameters of the IBIS-AMI model can be adjusted to obtain a more accurate eye diagram.
[0069] Through the above-mentioned simulation test method of the domain controller, the insertion loss and return loss between the main chip and the slave chip of the domain controller circuit board can be simulated and fitted, which can greatly improve the simulation accuracy, so as to accurately evaluate the design performance of the domain controller product and improve the design efficiency of the domain controller product. The simulation data finally obtained can be used for the production of the domain controller to ensure the product performance of the produced domain controller.
