Altium partners on power integrity design tool

12 March 2014 Design Automation

Altium has partnered with Nimbic, a leading provider of electromagnetic simulation solutions for signal integrity, power integrity and EMI analysis, to deliver a new power integrity solution for electronics designers.

Altium PI-DC gives users the ability to validate DC voltage and current performance in their designs before prototype and production. Thus, designers can avoid issues with power delivery and are better able to identify potential failure points. This includes high via currents that could cause fusing, or high resistance neck-down regions resulting in excessive voltage drop.

The software is based on Nimbic’s specialised 3D full-wave electromagnetic solver, and is designed to address the requirements of large-scale power integrity problems. It integrates into Altium Designer as an optional extension, giving engineers a seamless environment for DC analysis.

Nets for analysis are selected in Altium Designer with DC voltage drop and current density results displayed directly over the layout. This allows a designer to interactively identify and fix issues with no guesswork about what layout structure might be causing the issue.
