Efinix Implements Effective EM/IR Analysis For Leading-Edge FPGA Designs With The MPower Platform


Efinix turned to the Siemens mPower power integrity analysis platform to obtain the capabilities they needed for fast, accurate, full-chip EM/IR analysis of their Titanium FPGA designs. With no artificially enforced digital methodology, and a flat transistor analysis without elaborate views or modeling, the mPower platform analyzes custom layout and P&R IP in a single, seamless run. The mPo... » read more

Advances In EM Analysis And Design Flows For RF System Development


With the move toward higher frequencies and component densities, RF/mixed signal PCB systems and heterogeneous system-in-package (SiP) technologies are increasingly susceptible to delayed product development turnaround times that threaten delivery schedules. These delays often occur late in development during integration when components that met the design specifications fail to achieve the req... » read more

Fast And Simple Rigid-Flex PCB Bending EM Analysis Using Clarity 3D Solver


3D PCB Electromagnetic (EM) Bending Analysis Rigid-Flex PCBs have been used in many modern electronic devices (such as mobile phones, laptops, and wearables, among others), due to their form factor, light weight, and cost-effectiveness. Electromagnetic (EM) analysis of Rigid-Flex PCBs has always been a challenging task for many commercially available 3D numerical solver technologies (FEM and F... » read more

How To Speed Up Large-Scale EM Simulation Of ICs Without Compromising Accuracy


With growing on-chip radio frequency (RF) content, electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the passives is critical for a variety of reasons — from selecting the right RF design candidates to detecting parasitic coupling that directly impacts performance. Being on-chip, accurate EM analysis requires a tie into the process technology in the form of process design kits (PDKs) as well as a foundry-ce... » read more

Challenges And Trends In SoC Electromagnetic (EM) Crosstalk


Electromagnetic Crosstalk analysis is emerging as a fundamental necessity as a component of electronic system development. With the advent of advanced technologies and System on-Chip (SoC) architectures, ignoring electromagnetic crosstalk is highly risky resulting in significant delays in reaching the market on time as well significant cost over runs. This paper provides an overview of the stat... » read more
