Power integrity tool offers greater accuracy
The RedHawk-3DX, a fourth-generation power sign-off solution, meets the power, performance, and price demands of low-power mobile, high-performance computing, consumer, and automotive electronics. The solution delivers greater accuracy, capacity, and usability for full-chip dynamic power and reliability simulation to manage power consumption and improve power delivery efficiency of advanced IC designs.
It extends previous generations’ capabilities to address sub-20-nm designs with 3+ GHz performance and billions of gates. The tool improves the accuracy and coverage of dynamic power analysis by providing enhanced logic-handling capabilities. Its new event- and state-propagation technologies with vector-based and VectorLess modes use both the functional stimulus and statistical probability to determine the switching scenario of the design.
To meet next-generation SoC and multidie simulation capacity challenges, RedHawk-3DX provides a hierarchical extraction methodology and a re-architected transient simulation engine, delivering up to 40% speed improvement without sacrificing sign-off accuracy. RedHawk-3DX enables the creation of an accurate LDO behavioral model for full-chip static and dynamic simulations to help detect and predict excessive load and line regulations.(Contact company for pricing — available now.)
