Ansys Path FX Description
Ansys Path FX provides the capability to perform timing analysis with variations across an entire System on Chip (SoC) without compromising accuracy. With its distinct cell modeling, it achieves SPICE-level timing accuracy for various voltage and variation scenarios using a single library. The architecture of Path FX is fully threaded and distributed, enabling it to scale efficiently to thousands of CPUs. Furthermore, Path FX employs path-based timing analysis technology that effectively considers all significant factors influencing delay and constraints across different process, voltage, and temperature conditions. It also has the functionality to automatically detect and simulate each clock path present in your design. In the current landscape, two major hurdles in chip design include reducing power consumption through lower supply voltages and navigating the complexities associated with advanced silicon processes, particularly at 7nm and beyond. This makes tools like Ansys Path FX indispensable for modern semiconductor development.

ZeroPath
ZeroPath (YC S24) is an AI-native application security platform that delivers comprehensive code protection beyond traditional SAST. Founded by security engineers from Tesla and Google, ZeroPath combines large language models with deep program analysis to deliver intelligent security testing that finds real vulnerabilities while dramatically reducing false positives.
Unlike traditional SAST tools that rely on pattern matching, ZeroPath understands code context, business logic, and developer intent. This enables identification of sophisticated security issues including business logic flaws, broken authentication, authorization bypasses, and complex dependency vulnerabilities.
Our comprehensive security suite covers the application security lifecycle:
1. AI-powered SAST
2. Software Composition Analysis with reachability analysis
3. Secrets detection and validation
4. Infrastructure as Code scanning
5. Automated PR reviews
6. Automated patch generation
and more...
ZeroPath integrates seamlessly with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and many more. The platform handles codebases with millions of lines across Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, PHP, Kotlin and more.
Our research team has been successful in finding vulnerabilities like critical account takeover in better-auth (CVE-2025-61928, 300k+ weekly downloads), identifying 170+ verified bugs in curl, and discovering 0-days in production systems at Netflix, Hulu, and Salesforce.
Trusted by 750+ companies and performing 200k+ code scans monthly.

Altium Develop
Altium Develop is a collaborative innovation environment that connects design, engineering, and manufacturing stakeholders in one place. Instead of teams working in isolation, it provides a shared space where feedback, design changes, and requirements are tracked as they happen. Built on the Altium 365 ecosystem, it bridges disciplines such as electrical, mechanical, software, and sourcing to reduce miscommunication and delays. By giving suppliers and production engineers an early voice in the process, it minimizes rework and accelerates product delivery. The result is a faster, more transparent path from concept to production, with alignment across every stage of development.

Ansys VeloceRF
Ansys VeloceRF accelerates the design process by significantly cutting down the time required to synthesize and model intricate spiral devices and transmission lines. Compiling the geometry of inductors or transformers takes just a matter of seconds, while modeling and analyzing them can be completed in just a few minutes. This software seamlessly integrates with top EDA platforms, creating layouts that are ready for tape-out. With Ansys VeloceRF, users can synthesize devices that tightly pack multiple components and lines, resulting in a more efficient silicon floorplan. Furthermore, analyzing the coupling effects among various inductive devices prior to detailed layout can decrease the overall design size and potentially eliminate the need for guard rings. The dimensions of inductors, along with crosstalk between them, can significantly influence the size of the die. Ansys VeloceRF assists in designing smaller devices by applying optimization criteria and geometry constraints, leading to enhanced performance. Additionally, it assesses the coupling between any number of inductors, optimizing both silicon area and inductor performance within the circuit context, ultimately contributing to a more efficient design process. By streamlining these aspects, Ansys VeloceRF empowers engineers to achieve their design goals more effectively.

PDN Analyzer
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.
