Cadence Sigrity 3D-EM version 19.00.001 Hotfix

Cadence Design Systems has released an hotfix to Sigrity 3D-EM 2019 version 19.00.000 is three-dimensional (3D) full-wave and quasi-static electromagnetic field (EM) solver technology tailored for IC package and PCB design’s S-parameter model extraction for power-integrity (PI) and signal-integrity (SI) analysis.

Cadence Sigrity 3D-EM 2019 version 19.00.001 Hotfix - what's new

- 3D_EM Enhance 3D-EM to allow users to specify custom frequency range/points during simulation setup
- 3D_EM 3D-EM exits unexpectedly with an engine failure message when two users run different simulations on the same server
- 3D_EM 3DWorkbench/3D-EM double license check out issue occurs during sweeping simulation
- 3D_EM 3D-EM reports shorts even though no physical shorts are found in the database


The Cadence Sigrity PowerSI 3D EM Extraction Option is three-dimensional (3D) full-wave and quasi-static electromagnetic field (EM) solver technology tailored for IC package and PCB design’s S-parameter model extraction for power-integrity (PI) and signal-integrity (SI) analysis. It provides a much faster simulation speed than other popular 3D finite element analysis tools with model reduction technology. The adaptive finite element mesh (FEM) refinement technology provides consistent accuracy for complicated 3D structures. For time-domain transient analysis, a robust low-frequency conditioning algorithm provides stable and accurate solutions down to 100Hz. The PowerSI 3DEM option’s workflow-driven user interface and automatic port generation makes the tool easy to use.

Integrated with Cadence PCB and IC package design tools, the Sigrity solutions for signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) provide advanced analysis both pre- and post-layout. Operating early in the design cycle allows for “what if” scenario exploration, sets more accurate design constraints, and reduces design iterations. Sigrity tools read and write directly to the Allegro PCB and IC package design database for fast and accurate integration of results. It provides a SPICE-based simulator and embedded field solvers for extraction of 2D and 3D structures. It supports transistor-level and behavioral I/O modeling, including power-aware simulation using IBIS models. Parallel bus and serial channel architecture can be explored pre-layout to compare alternatives, or post-layout for a comprehensive analysis of all associated signals.
