Post-LVS RLCk extraction software solution that enables IC design engineers to accurately predict electromagnetic coupling effects during the signoff phase
About Ansys Exalto
Ansys Exalto is a post-LVS RLCk extraction software solution that enables IC designers to accurately capture unknown crosstalk among different blocks in the design hierarchy by extracting lumped-element parasitics and generating an accurate model for electrical, magnetic and substrate coupling. Exalto interfaces with most LVS tools and can complement the RC extraction tool of your choice. Ansys Exalto post-LVS RLCk extraction lets IC designers accurately predict electromagnetic and substrate coupling effects for signoff on circuits that were previously "too big to analyze.” The extracted models are back-annotated to the schematic or netlist, and support all circuit simulators. The proliferation of RF and high-speed circuits in modern silicon systems has raised electromagnetic coupling to a first order effect that must be accurately modeled to reliably achieve silicon success.

Ansys RaptorH
Ansys RaptorH is an electromagnetic modeling software with capacity to model power grids, full custom blocks, spiral inductors, and clock trees. Its high-speed distributed processing delivers accurate, silicon-proven S-parameter and RLCk models. RaptorH can analyze partial and unfinished layouts during the design phase and makes it easy to use either the general purpose HFSS engine or the silicon-optimized RaptorX engine for silicon structures. Ansys RaptorH extracts electromagnetic models at the pre-LVS stage for arbitrary routing and layout, including planes (solid or perforated), round shapes, spiral inductors, and MiM/MoM capacitors - with automatic setting of boundary conditions. The GUI allows point-and-click net selection and what-if analyses. RaptorH is supported by all major silicon foundries and can read encrypted technology files to set up analyses with either the HFSS or the Raptor engine.

Sigrity X PowerSI
To help you tackle increasingly challenging issues related to simultaneous switching noise, signal coupling, and target voltage levels, Cadence® Sigrity X PowerSI® technology provides fast, accurate, and detailed electrical analysis of full IC packages or PCBs. It is cloud ready and can be used pre-layout to develop power- and signal-integrity guidelines, as well as post-layout to verify performance and improve a design without needing a prototype. Using Sigrity X PowerSI electromagnetic (EM) field solver technology, you can readily perform a broad range of studies to identify trace and via coupling issues, power/ground fluctuations caused by simultaneously switching outputs, and design regions that are under or over voltage targets. PowerSI technology also lets you perform extraction of frequency-dependent network parameter models and lets you visualize complex spatial relationships.

PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS)
PathWave ADS offers integrated design guidance via templates to help you get started faster. Extensive component libraries make it easy to find the part you want. Automatic sync with layout allows you to visualize the physical layout while making schematic designs. Data helps teams visualize whether their designs meet specifications. The data display and analytics capabilities in PathWave ADS produce graphs, charts, and diagrams to give you design confidence. Quickly accelerate your design with wizards, design guides, and templates. The complete design flow includes schematic, layout, circuit, electro-thermal, and electromagnetic simulations. Signal and power integrity are becoming more important as frequency and speed increase in printed circuit boards (PCBs). Losses associated with transmission line effects can cause failures in electronic devices. Modeling traces, vias, and interconnects are necessary to simulate the board accurately.
