Many thousands of layout parasitics dominate integrated circuit (IC) performance. ParagonX provides early, fast, and easy parasitic analysis with visual debugging and root-cause detection. ParagonX lets IC design engineers shift left to quickly explore and find the root causes of parasitic-induced design issues. It enhances existing EDA workflows with powerful analytics and visual feedback for identifying the root causes of layout parasitics’ impact on performance, precision, robustness, and reliability earlier in the design cycle.

A pre-LVS electromagnetic modeling solution that combines the gold standard Ansys HFSS electromagnetic simulation engine with the silicon-optimized Ansys RaptorX engine. Ansys RaptorH is an electromagnetic modeling software with capacity to model power grids, full custom blocks, spiral inductors, and clock trees. Its high-speed distributed processing delivers accurate, silicon-proven S-parameter and RLCk models. RaptorH can analyze partial and unfinished layouts during the design phase and makes it easy to use either the general purpose HFSS engine or the silicon-optimized RaptorX engine for silicon structures.

The Maxwell CSIRO interface is not part of the standard Maxwell functionality. Users are required to purchase a licence that enables them to interface the modules with Maxwell. All users who purchase the CSIRO interface are given access via their existing website login for convenience. Furthermore, EMIT actively maintains the suite of CSIRO applications, correcting errors and adding additional functionality in response to user feedback and requests. Maxwell allows the user to define, display and edit model parameters through drag and drop mouse operation. Layered earth, thin-sheet, prism and mesh models can be built in Maxwell’s 3-D visualisation environment. Requires Maxwell version 5 or later Ground system configurations tested include drill-hole, fixed, coincident and in-loop systems and MT Airborne modules...
