An integrated software tool for system noise management is described. A
system noise management suite for an assembly includes an integrated
circuit design to be coupled to a circuit board design. The system
includes three modules and a user interface. The first module is
configured to determine at least one type of bounce voltage for the
assembly. The second module is configured to identify decoupling
capacitances for the assembly to reduce power distribution system noise.
The third module is configured to estimate jitter caused by the
integrated circuit design. The user interface is coupled to the first
module, the second module, and the third module for input of information
for the first module, the second module, and the third module.
