Abstract：

The performance of a processor has been improved greatly with the development of IC technology and manufacturing process, while it introduces many problems on signal integrity, power consumption and heat dissipation, electromagnetic compatibility （EMC）, etc, to the circuit design of multiple-processor system. Aiming at these problems, a synthetic simulation method involving multiple disciplines which include electromagnetics, calorifics and mechanics was proposed. A design example of radar signal processing system was proposed, and the detailed simulating stages including power, signal integrity, thermal, and EMC was described. It provides an important reference to the circuit design and simulation of multiple-processor system. The design example shows that the proposed method can improve the performance of circuit and increase the success rate of design significantly by comprehensively applying various EDA simulation tools during the different stages of the design.
