The latest release of SIwave™ software is now available from ANSYS, Inc. Part of the Ansoft family of products, version 4.0 of this technology includes new features for EMC, signal integrity, and power integrity testing. SIwave technology is an electromagnetic field solver that performs broadband signal- and power-integrity analyses along with DC voltage and current analyses for complete boards and packages. In addition to comprehensive EMI/EMC analyses, this package features the ability to couple board and package EM fields with HFSS™ technology for complete system-level simulation. Enhancements to the 4.0 version include smart coupling algorithms with an advanced via solver combined with non-uniform (hexagonal and trapezoidal) trace cross sections that provide accurate solutions beyond 10 Gb/s. A new co-planar algorithm within the solver extends accuracy for difficult package designs, and a new field solver calculates trace characteristics.Find additional product information on the ANSYS website.
