Sigrity tool simulates chip, package.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , CA -- Sigrity Inc. has released CoDesign Studio, a chip and package co-design Co-Design is a philosophy in the American pragmatist tradition, which argues that all people have different ideals and perspectives and that any design process needs to deal with this. solution for analyzing the performance of the combined power delivery system. The company said CoDesign Studio is the first EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. solution to simultaneously co-simulate the complete chip and entire package in an integrated design The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

CoDesign Studio is a combination of Sigrity's SPEED2000 package analysis solution and its XcitePI IC power grid analysis tool. CoDesign Studio offers "what-if" analysis, providing engineers with design choices such as chip and package decoupling capacitor A decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple one part of an electrical network (circuit) from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor reducing the effect they have on the rest of the circuit. placement, package selection, IC floor plan placement, and IC bump and power grid configuration. "Power integrity issues continue to be a critical concern for high-speed designs," said Jiayuan Fang, president of Sigrity. "Most current EDA tools inadequately represent chip/package interactions, often leading to incorrect or misleading power analysis results. Sigrity helps companies overcome these deficiencies by co-simulating the complete chip and entire package to ensure correct operation and reduce design iterations." Sigrity expects companies in the semiconductor, computer, graphics, communications and networking industries to benefit from CoDesign Studio. |
