Saber Accelerates Robust Design: Download Datasheet

Robust Design is a development philosophy focused on achieving target reliability by making a product immune to factors that could impact performance. It requires considering four factors - signal, response, noise, and control - during the design process. Noise factors are disturbances beyond a designer's control that could shift a system's response from specifications, while control factors compensate for noise factors. Implementing Robust Design means simulating variations in technologies, components, manufacturing, and operations as noise factors to identify the necessary control methods. Saber's simulation tools efficiently support the Robust Design process through capabilities like handling stiff systems, industry component models, various analyses, and grid computing.

Saber Accelerates Robust Design 

Overview
Robust Design is a proven development philosophy focused on achieving target reliability. Approaching this aggressive goal requires
that Robust Design principles be an early and integral part of the development cycle. The objective is to make the end-product immune
to factors that could adversely affect performance. Robust Design requires that the following four factors be considered in the design
process: signal, response, noise, and control.

Noise factors are disturbances that cause the systems response to shift from specification. These factors are likely beyond the
designer’s control, such as manufacturing tolerances, aging, usage patterns, environmental conditions, etc. Noise factors must be
identified and quantified so that accurate choices can be made about which effects require compensation. Control factors are used by
the designer to compensate for noise factors that could significantly influence the system away from nominal performance.

Once the critical noise factors are identified and the control factors selected, a Robust Design flow is used to implement and analyze the
design to ensure system reliability. The objective of a Robust Design flow is to meet performance requirements with the highest possible
system reliability and the most reasonable systems cost.

Robust Design Flow


Adopting Robust Design principles to improve reliability means making system performance immune to variations in design
technologies, component parameters, manufacturing processes, and operational conditions. In a Robust Design flow, these variations
become the noise factors affecting system performance. The method of control for each variation may be as simple as selecting high
precision components or as involved as implementing new control algorithms. The matrix of possible variations and control combinations
becomes so complex that the traditional design-prototype-test flow is not practical. Designers must move their design activities to the
virtual world, where powerful simulation tools support complete system design and verification using Robust Design techniques outlined
in the diagram below.

Robust Design Tool Requirements


Implementing an effective and efficient Robust Design process requires simulation tools with specialized capabilities. The key tool
requirements are simulation support, model library support, modeling language support, and advanced data analysis. A simulator must
have special, built-in capabilities for each of the steps in the Robust Design process.
