SIwave HeadingSignal- and Power-Integrity Analysis for High-Performance PCBs and IC Packages SIwave™ analyzes entire printed circuit boards (PCBs) and IC packages prevalent in modern electronic products. The software allows engineers to perform complete signal- and power- integrity analyses from DC to beyond 10 Gb/s. SIwave extracts frequency-dependent circuit models of signal nets and power distribution networks directly from electrical CAD layout (E-CAD) databases. These analyses aid in the identification of signal and power-integrity problems and are critical to designers seeking first-pass system success. Entire design paths from package to board to package can be analyzed using a full-wave electromagnetic simulator realizing coupling effects between packages and boards that are often ignored. With an IC die network modeler, first order silicon...

::::::English Description::::::  SIwave analyzes complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) and IC packages prevalent in modern electronic products. The tool allows engineers to extract frequency-dependent circuit models of power distribution and signal nets directly from device layout (physical CAD) databases. Such circuit models aid in the identification of signal integrity and power-distribution network problems and are critical to designers seeking first-pass system success. An integrated DC IR drop computation module allows engineers to perform pre/post layout IR-drop verification to ensure that power distribution networks have the proper bump, ball, and pin sizes, as well as proper copper weighting. SIwave also helps mitigate electromigration concerns by flagging regions of high current density. New in SIwave v3.5  Fast and efficient DC solver (for...
