Complete electrical analysis platform built to help you solve all your SI, PI, and EMC design challenges across the board
Designs are not getting simpler and delivery schedules aren’t getting longer. If you hope to stay ahead of the competition, you must determine optimal design configurations, validate performance, and signoff on your critical interconnects well before you get to prototype . Sigrity provides the only complete analysis solution designed to solve todays multi-physics, multi-domain design challenges.
EASY
Figuring out how to set up the simulation shouldn’t take twice as long as the analysis. Sigrity provides easy to follow workflows and wizards designed to guide you through the simulation setup and analysis process quickly and efficiently. Coupled with a comprehensive model library and management environment you have a quick repeatable path to analysis that can be leveraged throughout your organization.
FAST
Along with reduced setup time, Sigrity boasts the fastest analysis engines on the market. Up tp 10x faster run-times than other leading engines, Sigrity is optimized to meet the challenges of todays complex analysis requirements. Full multi-threading threading support allows you to accelerate this speed-up even farther by leveraging your multi-core compute resources to go from run to results in no-time.
ACCURATE
Analyze and verify with confidence knowing your results will have tight correlation to real-world hardware. Your analysis is only as good as the confidence in your results. Cadence rigorously tests Sigrity against their own hardware ensuring the correlation you need to sign-off with confidence.
MULTI-CAD
Regardless of your CAD environment it is easy to bring your data into Sigrity for quick and accurate analysis. Simply drag and drop your design files on the unified canvas and start running workflows. Leverage the automated reporting engine to quickly generate and share insights from your analysis with colleagues drastically cutting down on reporting time.

Requirements Definition
The unique workflow-driven design environment and comprehensive simulation engines allow you to quickly access and perform the analysis needed to meet your design needs. As your analysis requirements increase, it is easy to add additional workflows all within the same common UI.
Prevent divergence between ideal simulation and measurement by analyzing and identifying return path discontinuities to ensure uninterrupted references and an optimized return path.
Easily model, simulate, and analyze topologies to evaluate signal integrity performance for complete serial link interfaces.
Provides full time-domain analysis for parallel bus protocols and supports a variety of IBIS and AMI protocol setups, including the newer/faster protocols reliant on serial channel methodologies, to determine performance compliance.
Create realistic simulations with the easy and convenient extraction of S, Z, and Y parameters of multiple port networks that model package and board structures.
Determine power loss through analysis of the DC resistance from a source to a load.
Analyze system-level power loss for your entire PDN through the generation of a resistance network matrix based on the terminals specified by the user.
Determine the best location for capacitor placement to reduce resonance within the PDN which can cause EMI radiation.
Automatically evaluate the board to define optimal decoupling capacitor selection and placement based on design goals (form factor, price, PDN robustness, etc).
Improve pin effectiveness with the easy detection of high resistance between the source (VRM) and load (pin) to reduce the likelihood of overheating.
Prevent electrical spikes by identifying resonant modes between predefined frequency ranges.
Determine the effects of external power delivery, conducted emissions, and coupling paths to reduce noise on the PDN.
Easily solve both electrical and thermal equations simultaneously through single-board/package or multi-board/package 3D finite element methods.
Ensure adherence to JEDEC standards through the easy extraction of thermal parameters such as lead frame packages, BGAs, wire-bonds, package-on-package (POP) and system-in-package(SIP), flip-chip packages, and more.
Accurately analyze the PDN with the easy extraction of S, Z, and Y parameters of multiple port networks that realistically model package and board structures.
Analyze near-field E/H densities and radiation effects from traces and edges to easily identify problematic EMI radiating devices and the extent of noise to determine necessary shielding and faraday cage placement.
Provide accurate EM solutions for complicated 3D structures with 3D finite element analysis tools and adaptive mesh refinement tailored to IC package and PCB designs.
Create realistic simulations with the easy and convenient extraction of S, Z, and Y parameters of multiple port networks that model vias, connectors, and components.
GET STARTED & SCALE EASILY
Getting started is oftentimes the hardest part of adopting new technology. Gain access to a powerful set of ready-to-go SI/PI/EMC workflows you can use right out of the box to quickly start your next-generation, electrically-aware design flow with the Sigrity Starter Pack. This pack is designed to get you operational with minimal setup so you can begin to identify and solve design issues early across the board quickly. Then, as your needs grow, easily scale up and add workflows to guarantee you always have the analysis capabilities needed for the task at hand.
For complex interfaces like DDR or PCI, manually reporting on all the data points needed to guarantee compliance is error-prone and can take hours to create. With Sigrity, the reports and documents needed to communicate with project stakeholders are just another output of your simulation and analysis activities. Documents are easily sharable and consumable in HTML format. Compliance reports are auto-configured based on the interface specifications, ensuring you are documenting all the key metrics needed for sign-off.
SERIAL LINK
Ensuring your key serial interfaces operate as intended is not easy. Sigrity allows you to move to production with confidence by providing a complete sign-off level design, analysis, and compliance environment for your critical serial links.
