Description

Ansys PathFinder-SC serves as a robust and scalable solution designed to facilitate the planning, verification, and approval of IP and full-chip SoC designs, ensuring their integrity and resilience against electrostatic discharge (ESD). This innovative tool effectively identifies and isolates the underlying sources of design problems that could lead to chip failures due to charged-device model (CDM), human body model (HBM), or various ESD incidents. With its cloud-native architecture capable of harnessing thousands of compute cores, PathFinder-SC significantly accelerates full-chip turnaround times. Endorsed by leading foundries for current density assessments and ESD approval, it stands out as a reliable choice in the industry. The platform's comprehensive data modeling, extraction, and transient simulation engine provides an all-encompassing solution for ESD verification. Utilizing a single-pass model, it seamlessly reads industry-standard design formats, establishes ESD rules, extracts RCs for the power network, and conducts ESD simulations to pinpoint root causes while offering repair and optimization suggestions, all consolidated within one powerful tool. This streamlined process not only enhances efficiency but also reduces the time-to-market for critical design projects.

Description

Pharos integrates Ansys' exceptional electromagnetic (EM) engine capabilities with a unique high-capacity circuit simulation engine, enabling comprehensive coupling analysis and the identification of potential EM crosstalk aggressors for each victim node. By pinpointing the most vulnerable nets, designers can strategically direct their design choices to mitigate EM crosstalk issues, thereby reducing risks throughout the design process. This tool not only has an extraordinary extraction engine but also features a built-in simulation component that facilitates in-depth EM analysis and categorizes potential crosstalk aggressors affecting each victim net. As a result, designers can concentrate on the nets that pose the highest risk within their designs. Given the increasing complexity of designs and the extensive range of magnetic field interference, it becomes a daunting challenge to identify every susceptible victim/aggressor net pair affected by EM crosstalk. Therefore, the effective use of Pharos can significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of the design workflow.
