Physware joins Distinguished Speakers in Presenting at DesignCon 2010

Distinguished Speakers to address challenges associated with SI, PI and EMI


SANTA CLARA, CA – January 08, 2010
– Physware, Inc., a leading provider of high-speed and high capacity 3D electro-magnetic solutions for Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Integrity and Simultaneous Noise Integrity (SNI), today announced that Physware, along with distinguished speakers from the industry will present at DesignCon 2010 being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA between February 1 to February 3, 2010.

 
TF-MA2 | Tutorial
Navigating Electromagnetic Field Solvers: Designer and EDA Perspectives. Monday, February 1 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Dr. Dipanjan Gope, Vice President, R&D, Physware Inc., Dr. Vikram Jandhyala, Associate Professor, University of Washington, Dr. Rajen Murugan, Signal Integrity Engineer, Inc., Texas Instruments, Dr. Souvik Mukherjee, Signal Integrity Engineer, Texas Instruments.

With the significantly growing needs for Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) analysis in all classes of microelectronic structures in the chip-package-board ecosystems,there is a corresponding need for fast and accurate electromagnetic (EM) simulation. However, there is a mind-boggling variety of available EM simulation techniques. For meaningful simulation and model generation leading to successful designs, it is essential to match the kind of EM solver to the problem at hand. This tutorial discusses some of the critical issues and provides initial guidance as to what solvers to use and when.

An Accurate Methodology for Model-to-hardware Calibration and Correlation with PCB-package Mimulation Using Electromagnetic Solvers. Wednesday, February 3 | 9:20 am - 10:00 am

Dr. Souvik Mukherjee, Signal Integrity Engineer, Texas Instruments, Dr. Dipanjan Gope, Vice-President, R&D, Physware Inc., Dr. Rajen Murugan, Signal Integrity Engineer, Texas Instruments., Dr. Vikram Jandhyala, CTO, Physware Inc., Dr. Django Trombley, RF Characterization Engineer, Texas Instruments

This paper presents an accurate simulation, hardware development and measurement methodology to accurately characterize electrical performance metrics of packages and PCBs. This is addressed by developing a dedicated PCB and package test vehicle, measurement and simulation setup of impedance on power delivery nets and cross-coupling between a set of aggressor and victim signal nets. In order to address simulation accuracy with required efficiency, appropriate algorithms have been evaluated. Benchmarking of  different modeling techniques have been performed against measurements in order to scope applicability of commercially available EM solvers.

Building IC-Package-PCB System EMI/EMC Verification and Early Design Flows: Challenges and Methods. Tuesday, February 2 | 11:05 am - 11:45 am

Dr. Rajen Murugan, Signal Integrity Engineer, Texas Instruments, Dr. Swagato Chakraborty, Vice President of Products, Physware Inc., Dr. Souvik Mukherjee, Signal Integrity Engineer, Texas Instruments Dr. Dipanjan Gope, Vice President, R&D, Physware Inc., Dr. Vikram Jandhyala, Founder, Physware Inc. & Associate Professor Univ. of Washington

Package and PCB-system aware IC co-design and verification entails early awareness of signal integrity, power integrity, timing, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) impact on designs functionality and performance. Higher frequencies, along with stringent EMC regulations, are driving the need for developing EMI-aware design methodologies in the earlier and sign-off phases of the design cycle. . This paper discusses the significant challenges of scale, connectivity, turnaround time, and accuracy needed in developing such a flow. In particular, the numerical effect of violating established EMI guidelines is quantified in the flow, enabling cutting-edge designs that are less conservative and still satisfy EMI constraints.
