Power Delivery


PowerGrid™ is a unique suite of DC and AC power delivery tools for IR drop and ground bounce analysis for IC packages and printed circuit boards ( PCBs).

 

PowerGrid's DC module computes voltage, current and current density distributions in various structures. Arbitrary groups of voltage and current sources can be assigned to solder bumps, bond wires, solder balls and pin locations. Equivalent SPICE netlists are also created with all kinds of port assignments. Complex geometries of signal traces and power/ground planes are modeled exactly and the built-in graphical display helps engineers quickly identify the hot spots in a package or PCB and the total currents through bond wires, vias, solder balls, etc.

 

PowerGrid's AC computes the S,Y,Z parameters in packages and PCBs. Arbitrary groups of ports can be assigned to solder bumps, bond wires, solder balls and pin locations. Decoupling capacitors can also be specified at arbitrary locations. Complex geometries of signal traces and power/ground planes are accurately simulated over a wide bandwidth.
