Ansys RedHawk
Power Integrity and Reliability.
Overview
Ansys RedHawk is a power integrity and reliability analysis platform for semiconductor design, specifically for SoCs (System-on-Chip), ASICs, and custom digital designs. It is not a general-purpose PCB design tool but a highly specialized analysis tool used in the chip design process to ensure power grids are robust and reliable, analyzing issues like voltage drop (IR drop), electromigration (EM), and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
✨ Key Features
- Power network extraction and analysis
- Static and dynamic voltage (IR) drop analysis
- Electromigration (EM) analysis
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) analysis
- Chip-Package-System (CPS) thermal and power integrity analysis
- Signoff accuracy for semiconductor foundries
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Gold standard for power integrity and reliability signoff
- Comprehensive analysis capabilities from chip to system level
- Certified by all major semiconductor foundries
Unique Value: Provides foundry-certified signoff accuracy for power and reliability, ensuring that complex, low-power SoCs will function correctly and not fail in the field.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Used by major semiconductor companies for chip signoff
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Any form of PCB design
- Analog or RF IC design (other Ansys tools are used for this)
🏆 Alternatives
It is a highly specialized tool for a specific part of the IC design process, not a general PCB tool. Its competitors are other specialized IC power analysis tools.
