Autodesk Fusion Signal Integrity Extension overview (video: 55 sec.)
The Fusion Signal Integrity Extension brings powerful signal analysis tools right into your PCB design workflow. Powered by Ansys technology, it helps you:
This extension helps you optimise your designs faster, with fewer physical prototypes.
Discover how to improve your high-speed PCB design compliance with EMI and EMC testing standards with PCB signal integrity tools available in Autodesk Fusion.
Improve your product development process by virtualising electromagnetic analysis and simulation early within PCB design workflow.
Minimise costly physical PCB prototyping and boards re-spins with access to your design’s electromagnetic signal performance.
PCB Impedance matching
Manage and control the impedance for every critical signal throughout your board for an optimal high-speed design performance.
Signal Integrity insights
Analyse your design signals to inspect parameters that characterise high speed design such as signal delays, trace length, impedance and coupling.
Simple configuration
With simple input parameters and configuration, PCB engineers can select signals of interest for quick on-demand analysis.
Visual violation flagging
Easily and visually identify any potential signal impedance or coupling issues with a superimposed colour-coded overlay on your 2D PCB design.
Electromagnetic Coupling
Discover insights into electromagnetic coupling between PCB traces by assessing crosstalk. Easily identify victim and aggressor traces with colour-coded visualisation.
Differential Pair coupling and impedance consistency
It empowers users to assess impedance consistency, measure coupling coefficients on differential pair traces, and understand and mitigate crosstalk effects in high-speed digital electronics.

The Autodesk Fusion Signal Integrity Extension (formerly Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension) is a cost-option signal integrity simulation and analysis service powered by Ansys technology that, when purchased, unlocks insights into the PCB design impacts on performance through information around signal length, impedance, inductance, resistance, delay and more. Extensions provide a flexible, cost-effective way for you to access more advanced technology in line with your changing business needs.
The Autodesk Fusion Signal Integrity Extension (formerly Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension) (US site) unlocks advanced insights into PCB/electronics electromagnetic performance that can help identify potential high-speed PCB design issues, such as impedance mismatching and signal delay issues, then resolve and validate them quickly to help achieve first-pass success in PCB, including:
The Autodesk Fusion Signal Integrity Extension (formerly Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension) can only be used with Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360) and only within the Autodesk Fusion electronics workspace (US site).
The Autodesk Fusion Signal Integrity Extension (formerly Fusion 360 Signal Integrity Extension) is available wherever Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360) is sold and can be accessed using different payment methods to suit your business needs, including monthly and yearly options.

The Signal Integrity Extension, developed by Autodesk and powered by Ansys technology, offers the ability to unlock additional PCB design capabilities for when you need them. By comparison, stand-alone programs tend to be point solutions that are intended to provide simulation capability in its own environment while the signal integrity extension provides the ability to gain powerful signal quality insights in line with PCB design workflows in the same environment that the designs take place. This provides feedback into product performance while it is being designed empowering the user with more information earlier in the design cycle and more confidence that their design will work. By further comparison, add-ins tend to be point solutions, developed by 3rd parties, that connect to the Autodesk Fusion API to solve a specific problem. Add-ins are less powerful and more likely to become obsolete if the 3rd party fails to update them.
Signal integrity refers to the measure of the quality and reliability of electrical signals as they travel through electronic devices, circuits or transmission lines. It’s an important aspect of PCB electronics design, ensuring that data and information are transmitted accurately. Signal integrity issues (US site) can lead to errors in data transmission, reduced system performance and in some cases system failures.
Signal integrity in high-speed PCB design (US site) can be affected by various factors, some of which include impedance mismatch, attenuation, rise and fall time, cross-talk, noise, ringing, grounding, frequency and bandwidth.
Signal integrity software is used in high-speed PCB design to ensure signals propagate correctly and maintain their integrity. Benefits of using signal integrity software include:
