ChipQuake Learning Edition simulation software can be used to:
Simulate the power integrity on chip, package, and printed circuit board co-design
Explore decoupling capacitor types, values, and placement locations on the chip, package, and PCB.
Analyze noise coupling effects on the analog regions of mixed-signal integrated circuits.
Examine various floor-plan options, pin assignments, power grid sizes, and guard ring isolations.
Analyze the effects of various packaging options on noise coupling.
Inputs:
ChipQuake uses the information available in the design specifications, technology manual, package datasheet or specifications, and statistical data from typical design practices or previous designs.
Outputs:
ChipQuake generates the frequency sweep characteristics of power distribution impedance and power supply noise on the chip, package, and PCB, and computes two- and three-dimensional color coded maps of the on-chip substrate and power supply noise. Mouse move probing displays the noise voltage function of X-Y coordinates. Operating systems Windows 7, Vista, XP
