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

Electromagnetic (EM) simulation provides valuable insights prior to the physical prototyping stage. Tailor your EM simulations to enhance both speed and precision. Seamlessly integrate EM analysis with your circuit simulations to boost overall efficiency. While EM simulations can often require several hours to complete, you can significantly reduce both import and export times by linking your EM simulation software with PathWave Circuit Design software. This integration allows you to maximize your workflow by combining EM analysis with circuit simulations effectively. The 3D EM solid modeling environment enables the creation of custom 3D objects and supports the import of existing models from various CAD platforms. This is essential for preparing a 3D geometry for 3DEM simulation, which involves defining ports, boundary conditions, and material properties. Additionally, the environment includes a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulator, which is vital for compliance testing regarding Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC), ensuring that your designs meet necessary regulatory standards. By utilizing these advanced features, you can streamline your design process and enhance the effectiveness of your electromagnetic analysis.
