Ansys Slwave Electromagnetics Simulation Software
Model, simulate and evaluate high-speed channels and full power delivery systems found in modern high-performance devices with Ansys Slwave. Ansys Slwave extracts multi-gigabit SERDES and memory buses with precision, ensuring product compliance for a variety of architectures. Ansys Slwave’s full-wave extraction of complete power distribution networks (PDN) allows you to check noise margins and ensure that they are within acceptable limits.
Ansys Slwave Capabilities
Ansys Slwave dynamically links circuit and system simulations using powerful electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical simulators. Co-analysis of power integrity, signal integrity, and thermal integrity is required for the successful design of next-generation electronic products. Ansys Slwave uniquely preforms die-to-die connectivity design across ICs, packages, connectors, and boards. With shorter time to market, lower costs, and greater system performance, Slwave helps customers gain a competitive advantage.
Ansys Slwave Key Features
Slwave supports a variety of extraction types, including signal and power RLCG IBIS for IC packaging, touch panel RLCG unit cells, bus bar RLCG, power inverter/converter, and a dedicated thin-plane solution for touch panel extractions.
Automatic and configuarbale EMI deisgn rule checks are provided by an EMI Scanner and EMI Xplorer to swiftly detect regions of potential interference on the design prior to simulation.
Ansys Slwave offers a DDR virtual compliance package that, when used in conjunction with the DDR Wizard, delivers end-to-end virtual compliance for DDR-based designs. In addition, our new SPISim Technology makes compliance reporting for USB-C and COM calculations for IEE 802.3bj and 802.3bs channels a breeze. Customization and assistance are also possible in the programming environment.
Using DC power loss from Ansys Slwave as a heat source, this multiphysics approach provides realistic thermal modeling of IC packages and PCBs. Icepak overcomes the difficulties of dissipating thermal energy from electronic components, which can lead to component failure due to overheating. After that, you can use Ansys Mechanical to calculate thermal stress. This multiphysics technique enables you to do a linked EM-thermal-stress analysis before production to gain a thorough understanding of the design.
