Case Study: Inspur Power Commercial Systems achieves 100% increase in high‑speed PCB efficiency and cuts design time from days to minutes with Keysight PathWave ADS

Design Team Increases Efficiency of High-Speed Digital Boards by 100%

Inspur Power Commercial Systems (IPS), a leading data center and cloud computing solutions provider, faced growing complexity in high-speed digital (HSD) PCB design as interfaces like PCIe and DDR evolved to higher speeds. IPS needed accurate signal and power integrity analysis (loss, coupling, via effects, PDN behavior) without extending verification time, so they adopted Keysight’s PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS).

Keysight delivered an integrated PathWave ADS workflow — including the SIPro and PIPro EM analysis tools and ADS channel simulator with IBIS‑AMI support — enabling net-driven selection, eye-diagram and BER analysis, and batch/optimization runs. The solution allowed IPS to go from layout to results in under 20 clicks, cut design and simulation time from days to minutes per case, doubled high-speed PCB efficiency (100% improvement), and produced more stable, reliable server and storage products.
