PhysWAVE

PhysWAVE is Physware’s flagship 3D, broadband, full-wave electromagnetic solver. PhysWAVE is built around proprietary accelerated boundary element technology that enables unprecedented speed and capacity, while preserving gold-standard Maxwell accuracy. PhysWAVE is built from the ground up to exploit multicore and hybrid architectures, as well as to utilize the best of fast solver technology to enable rapid simulation on single or multiple core machines.

PhysWAVE’s integrated solution provides, in a unified interface, multiple options and features that typically are available only in multiple products. Designers can benefit from Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, and EMI features from the unified interface that exploit powerful broadband full-wave EM technology.

PhysWAVE features full chip, package and board import capability from industry standard formats as well as merging and combining utilities within an integrated workspace, thereby enabling seamless silicon-package-board co-analysis.

PhysWAVE’s deep IP and rich feature list enables users to choose from multiple modes and design-enabling features throughout the design cycle. PhysWAVE’s high-accuracy mode enables designers to perform signoff post-layout verification while the high-speed mode allows designers to perform intelligent what-if analysis early in the design cycle to help mitigate significant re-work later in the process.

Users can obtain S, Y and Z matrices, visualize TDR/TDT waveforms and return currents, improve designs by observing strong coupling paths, place multiple packages on boards and observe electrical behavior through the integrated system. PhysWAVE’s powerful EMI features allows users to specify temporal and steady-state voltage and current noise sources from industry standard formats and observe selected noise spectra, near-field, far-field and EMI/EMC compatibility.

PhysWAVE integrates tightly with existing design flows in a seamless fashion, thereby enabling efficient frontend and backend integration.

PhysWAVE offers an integrated full-wave 3D SI, PI, EMI solution under a single software framework and seamlessly fits into standard CAD flows. PhysWAVE directly imports geometry in widely used CAD formats and produces output models that are compatible with standard circuit simulation engines.
