Ansys PathFinder Reviews

Ansys PathFinder Description

Ansys PathFinder SC is a high-capacity software that helps you plan, verify, and sign-off IP designs and full-chip SoC designs to ensure integrity and robustness against Electrostatic discharge (ESD). Ansys PathFinder SC identifies and isolates design issues that could lead to chip failure due to ESD events such as charged-device model, human body model (HBM), and other ESD events. Its cloud-native, high-capacity architecture can host thousands of compute cores to provide fast turnaround on full-chip chips. Major foundries have certified PathFinder-SC for current density checks and ESD sign off. The integrated data modeling, extraction, and transient simulation engine of PathFinder-SC is a complete solution for ESD verification. The single-pass model can read industry-standard designs, set up ESD rules, extract the RCs for power networks, and perform ESD simulations to analyze root cause and provide feedback.
