ANSYS SIwave

Product catalog summary
Overview
ANSYS SIwave is a specialized tool for electrical analysis of full PCBs and complex electronic packages, addressing power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) challenges. It provides predictive analysis in both time and frequency domains.
3D Power Integrity Electronic Package Design
The tool offers a streamlined 3D design flow for comprehensive package system analysis, including sign-off verification for package power integrity. It integrates seamlessly with EDA layout tools to customize SI, PI, and EMI design flows.
Applications and Case Studies
SIwave has been used by Sarcina Technology LLC to extract DDR3 electrical models for PCBs and daughter cards, analyzing performance for Big Data and IoT applications. LSI Corporation utilized SIwave to identify voltage swings affecting PLL phase error in DDR parallel interface circuits.
Solver Technology
SIwave combines current flow and thermal analysis in a multiphysics-based electrothermal cosimulation with ANSYS Icepak. It features a hybrid 2.5D AC electromagnetic solver and a finite element-based DC resistance solver.
Geometry Entry and Import
The tool supports geometry entry through SIwave GUI and Electronics Desktop 3D Layout GUI, with ECAD translation from Altium, Cadence, Mentor, and Zuken, and MCAD generation from ECAD.
Electromagnetic Analysis
SIwave performs DC voltage, current, and power analysis for PKG/PCB, DC Joule heating with ANSYS Icepak, passive and driven excitation plane resonance analysis, automated decoupling analysis, capacitor loop inductance analysis, AC SYZ analysis, near-field and far-field EMI analysis, characteristic impedance scanning, TDR analysis, and steady-state AC analysis.
Circuit Analysis
The tool includes transient IBIS circuit analysis, SerDes IBIS-AMI circuit analysis, and Synopsys HSPICE integration.
Virtual Compliance and High Performance Computing
SIwave supports virtual compliance for DDRx, GDDRx, and LPDDRx, and offers high-performance computing capabilities with HPC SYZ frequency sweep distribution and multi-processing.

Power integrity, signal integrity and EMI SIwave is a dedicated tool for electrical analysis of full PCB and complex electronic packages. SIwave solves interrelated PI, SI, and EMI challenges to deliver predictive analysis for your design. It provides solutions in both the Time & Frequency domains. 3D Power Integrity Electronic Package Design Access a streamlined 3D design flow that enables complete package system analysis using sign-off verification for package power integrity. Integrated with layout tools Seamless integration with EDA layout tools to create customized signal integrity, power integrity and EMI design flows. SIwave – PI: Fully automated de-coupling analysis used to improve noise margins on signal nets due to power fluctuations caused by large transient currents ( ). SIwave – DC: Engineers from Sarcina Technology LLC used ANSYS SIwave to extract DDR3 electrical models for both a PCB and its daughter card to analyze the performance of application-specific ICs used in Big Data applications and the Internet of Things. SIwave: LSI Corporation used ANSYS Chip Signal Model and ANSYS SIwave to show that voltage swings on the signal network of a DDR parallel interface circuit were coupling to the power supply of the PLL, resulting in phase error between the PLL reference clock and output clock. Additionally fast PCB and PKG characteristic impedance scanning was performed to quickly determine problems due to routing and stackup
