Overview

Accelerate Time to Results with Unique EM-Aware Analysis Technology

Cadence Sigrity SPEEDEM technology lets you perform workflows for various levels of signal, power, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and electrostatic discharge (ESD) studies in a single tool with a single environment. This layout-based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation tool combines circuit and transmission-line simulations with a fast, special-purpose EM field solver to compute dynamic interactions between signal, power, and ground on IC package and board signals and planes.
