Ansys PowerX

Intelligent Analysis and Visualization for PowerFETs and Power Management ICs (PMICs)

Ansys PowerX is a next-generation solution designed for rapid, early-stage power analysis of large-scale power IC designs. With built-in electromigration (EM) analysis, PowerX empowers engineers to quickly identify potential weaknesses and drive efficient design optimization.

Highly Accurate and 2D Mesh Software to Analyze RDSon Value 

Ansys PowerX is software for analyzing power in semiconductors. It quantifies the impact of source and drain interconnect resistance on the total RDSon value. It visualizes the current density and voltage distributions in devices. With a built-in EM analysis capability, this lets design engineers detect real electromigration (EM) violations.

Quick Specs

Ansys PowerX is an advanced analysis and visualization software specifically developed to simulate powerFETs and power management ICs (PMICs). It analyzes the impact of source and drain interconnect resistance on total RDSon to optimize its value. It’s the easiest-to-use powerFET simulator on the market and doesn’t require any tech files, mapping files, or CAD/EDA support. PowerX is built on the MeshX engine, which generates a very physical and accurate triangular 2D mesh for the device layout.

  • Accurate 2D mesh
  • Analyzes RDSon, current density, voltage distribution, gate resistance
  • Best for powerFET and PMIC analysis
  • Easy setup and analysis

Easiest PowerFET Simulator Accurately Defines the Physical Geometry using 2D Mesh 

PowerX creates an accurate 2D triangle mesh that more accurately represents curves and corners than other tools. It can easily extract low resistive elements on top metal layers like powerFETs, power nets, electrostatic discharge (ESD) networks, and critical current-density applications. By analyzing the current density, engineers can identify the real EM violations rather than false positives. The biggest advantage of PowerX is that it’s easy to set up, accurate, layout-driven, and delivers quick results.
