Capabilities
Ansys Semiconductor products provide a comprehensive suite of multiphysics EM/IR, thermal and electromagnetic simulation engines designed to support third-party IC implementation flows for digital and transistor-level design.
The core products are built on the ultra-high capacity, cloud-native SeaScape™ platform, which uses an elastic-compute big-data machine learning architecture to deliver near-linear scalability over thousands of CPU cores.
Power Integrity Signoff
Ansys RedHawk-SC (digital) and Ansys Totem (analog) are the world’s leading solutions for SoC power integrity analysis. You can model supply voltage variations with foundry-verified signoff accuracy and reduce the overall power noise impact through the package and board. Current density and electromigration analysis are thermal-aware for both power supply metal and signal interconnect on chip or package layers.
Timing Impact of IR Drop
Ansys RedHawk-SC’s diagnostics capabilities identify the sources of dynamic power supply noise through vectored and vectorless activity that give comprehensive coverage and eliminate voltage escapes and potential frequency loss. Ansys Path FX provides a variation-aware static timing analysis of critical paths to SPICE accuracy across all voltages with just a single timing library file.
2.5D/3D-IC Electrothermal Signoff
Ansys RedHawk-SC Electrothermal provides multiphysics analysis for stacked multi-die packages for power integrity, thermal analysis, and mechanical stress/warpage – all the way from early prototyping to final signoff. This high-capacity multiphysics analysis is in full context of the entire 2.5D/3D system for maximum accuracy and to ensure system reliability. The co-simulation analysis integrates to system-level tools including Ansys Icepak and Ansys SIwave.
RTL Power Analysis and Reduction
Identify power hotspots and debug their root cause interactively with a powerful graphical interface and custom queries. Reduce clock, memory, and logic power with high-impact block- and instance-level RTL techniques based on production-proven physically-aware power analysis. Profile power of real workloads rapidly and qualify coverage.
