Design organizations face a daunting set of semiconductor and
electronics industry challenges due to rising complexity and
competitive pressures to bring products to market quickly and
reliably. Engineering leaders are looking for design productivity
solutions that streamline their tool workflows, enable sharing of
large volumes of design and simulation data across global
operations, and digitize all aspects of their development
programs.
PathWave Design 2024 EDA software delivers the following
engineering productivity enhancements:
Software Automation
Keysight’s new Python API for EDA workflows establishes an open
ecosystem to connect and control best-in-class simulators,
platforms, data exchange, and report generation to meet specific
development project needs. The Python API enables Keysight’s EDA
software tools to interoperate with third-party partner tools in
custom-tailored automation workflows. For example, it supports more
efficient design verification and provides greater confidence for
attaining first-pass success. In addition, Keysight speeds
the development of automated workflows themselves by offering
professional consulting and customization services for PathWave
Design 2024 customers.
The Python API addresses customer requirements to use the tools
in a larger ecosystem environment and control Keysight EDA software
programmatically. It includes documentation and examples on how to
tackle common automation challenges making Keysight tools a
component of larger enterprise workflows. Using the Python API for
EDA workflows, engineers can streamline processes to reduce
repetitive, tedious work and avoid mistakes due to human error. An
example use-case is the repeated electromagnetic (EM) extraction of
a printed circuit board or package for high-speed digital signals,
performing channel simulation on the resulting EM model, and
invoking digital standard compliance tests, in one automated
process.
IP and Design Data Management
Keysight has integrated the former Cliosoft products into the
PathWave Design 2024 software suite. Keysight remains committed to
broad support of its IP and data management products for all major
EDA tools with data originating from third-party vendors’ tools and
continued support for the full Cliosoft ecosystem.
Keysight Design Data Management (formerly Cliosoft SOS) is the
leading solution for hardware design engineers seeking a
comprehensive and efficient design data management platform.
Keysight Design Data Management empowers engineers with robust
features and benefits such as optimal file archiving, advanced
revision control, disk storage optimization, tight EDA vendor
integration, and seamless software configuration connectivity.
Keysight IP Management (formerly Cliosoft HUB) is the enterprise
solution for efficient IP management, IP reuse, and IP
traceability. With Keysight IP Management, IP and system designers
can streamline their IP processes and maximize productivity.
Keysight IP Management empowers engineers to seamlessly organize,
catalog, and track valuable IPs, ensuring easy access and efficient
reuse across design projects. It provides unparalleled
traceability, enabling engineers and managers to monitor the entire
lifecycle of their IPs and make informed decisions.
Simulation Acceleration
Using Keysight’s Design Cloud for parallel simulation
dramatically improves designer productivity, reducing simulation
time by up to 80% for circuit simulation and EM simulation and
enabling faster design cycles with better simulation coverage to
reduce design risk. Keysight’s Design Cloud uses parallel computing
across hardware deployments ranging from on-premises clusters to
private, public, and hybrid clouds, and through a turnkey cloud
solution.
PathWave Design 2024 enables a new Design Cloud use-case for
parallel simulation supporting electrothermal (ETH) simulation for
radio frequency (RF) power amplifier design. ETH parallelization
increases the accuracy of typical RF circuit simulations with
dynamic large-signal stimulus, which is important for 5G and 6G
applications. Parallel simulation enables coverage of more
temperature corners in a shorter simulation time.
Niels Faché, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight
EDA, said: “Keysight’s EDA products give customers the design,
simulation, and API capabilities required to automate workflows
optimized for their specific domain and application context. Our
enterprise EDA customers are emphasizing digital transformation of
design tool workflows and data management processes to better serve
their global engineering footprints. Given today’s shortage of
engineering talent, they need to scale up output from available
resources and maximize ROI from people and technology through more
efficient utilization of design data and IP. PathWave Design 2024
addresses these issues head-on to deliver open, interoperable tool
environments that improve productivity for engineering
organizations engaged in complex circuit, chip, multi-technology
module, board, and system design.”
