Ansys SIwave: Signal Integrity, Power Integrity and EMI Analysis for PCB Design

Quick Specification

• Ansys SIwave Solvers

  Simulate the electromagnetic behaviour of printed circuit boards and electronics packages with SIwave.

• Layout and Geometry Import

  Enables you to easily and seamlessly import ECAD geometries and materials directly from major EDA layout tools.

• Electrothermal and Mechanical Analysis

  Provides automatic convergence between electromagnetic PDN analysis and CFD thermal simulation. Automatic data transfer to Ansys Mechanical identifies premature component failure due to thermal stress.

• High-Performance Computing

  Adds tremendous value to electromagnetics simulation by enabling large, high-fidelity models that yield accurate and detailed insight into the performance of your design.

• IBIS and IBIS-AMI SerDes Analysis

  SIwave’s circuit simulator is fully compatible with IBIS and IBIS-AMI driver/receiver models.

• Virtual Compliance

  Quickly determine if your DDR3/4 bus design will pass or fail Jedec standards.

• Automated Decoupling Capacitor Optimisation

  Optimise capacitor placement and reduce cost of PCB and electronic package designs.

• Impedance and Cross-talk Scanning

  Provides automatic scanning of PCB or package layout to determine the anticipated impedance Near and Far End crosstalk coefficients.

• Multidomain System Modelling

  Integrated modelling capability to analyse electromagnetic components within a systems environment.

• Electromigration Analysis

  Predict migration of metal atoms in a conductor caused by electric current.

• EMI Solution

  Identify areas of potential interference on your PCB design.

• Electronics Desktop

  Unified platform for electromagnetic, electromechanical, circuit and system simulation. HFSS, Maxwell, Q3D Extractor, Icepak and Simplorer are built into the Electronics Desktop, which serves as a universal pre- and post- processor for these tools.
