Description

Ansys PathFinder-SC serves as a robust and scalable solution designed to facilitate the planning, verification, and approval of IP and full-chip SoC designs, ensuring their integrity and resilience against electrostatic discharge (ESD). This innovative tool effectively identifies and isolates the underlying sources of design problems that could lead to chip failures due to charged-device model (CDM), human body model (HBM), or various ESD incidents. With its cloud-native architecture capable of harnessing thousands of compute cores, PathFinder-SC significantly accelerates full-chip turnaround times. Endorsed by leading foundries for current density assessments and ESD approval, it stands out as a reliable choice in the industry. The platform's comprehensive data modeling, extraction, and transient simulation engine provides an all-encompassing solution for ESD verification. Utilizing a single-pass model, it seamlessly reads industry-standard design formats, establishes ESD rules, extracts RCs for the power network, and conducts ESD simulations to pinpoint root causes while offering repair and optimization suggestions, all consolidated within one powerful tool. This streamlined process not only enhances efficiency but also reduces the time-to-market for critical design projects.

Description

PathWave ADS streamlines the design process by providing integrated templates that help users start their projects more efficiently. With a comprehensive selection of component libraries, locating the desired parts becomes a straightforward task. The automatic synchronization with layout offers a clear visualization of the physical arrangement while you create schematic designs. This data-driven approach enables teams to assess if their designs are in line with specifications. PathWave ADS enhances design confidence through its display and analytics features, which generate informative graphs, charts, and diagrams. Users can expedite their design process with the help of wizards, design guides, and templates. The complete design workflow encompasses schematic design, layout, as well as circuit, electro-thermal, and electromagnetic simulations. As frequencies and speeds continue to rise in printed circuit boards (PCBs), ensuring signal and power integrity is critical. Issues arising from transmission line effects can lead to electronic device failures. It is essential to model traces, vias, and interconnects accurately for a realistic simulation of the board, ensuring that potential problems are identified and mitigated early in the design phase. This multifaceted approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances the overall reliability of electronic designs.
