Description
Power Analyzer offers an easy-to-use interface that allows you to visualize voltage distribution, current density, the direction of current flow, and identify "hot spots." The outcomes are directly integrated into the Altium Designer PCB editor, enabling you to observe how your power grids interact with the overall design. This tool allows for the swift identification and resolution of DC voltage and current density issues during the PCB design stage, even if you lack prior experience in DC analysis. You can design with assurance, as it provides precise energy measurements for your projects. Power Analyzer enables interactive measurements of voltage and current density or tracks current at specific points, whether at a single location or differentially between two points within Altium Designer. You can visualize the results to make necessary adjustments throughout your design process. Moreover, the configurable HTML reports facilitate easy documentation of simulation activities, including voltage and current margins, power consumption statistics, and custom screenshots, ensuring you have comprehensive records of your design efforts. This functionality not only enhances design accuracy but also streamlines the overall development workflow.
Description
Altium's PDN Analyzer tool integrates with Altium Designer. This allows you to easily troubleshoot issues such as insufficient or excessive copper or uncontrolled voltage drops. You can also detect marginal voltage at critical power points, copper islands or peninsulas, and other issues that could be present in your PCB power system. PDN is the power system for active circuits on printed circuit boards. This includes all interconnections between the voltage regulator module, the metallization pads and die on integrated devices that are used for supply and return power. The entire length of the power delivery network must meet the IC supply voltage limits. Validating your power budget accurately means taking into account the minimum and maximum device limits, worst case voltage drops, combined return-path currents, and other factors. PDN Analyzer will show you exactly where these problems are.
