Niels Faché, Vice President and General Manager of PathWave Software Solutions at Keysight said: “This technology integration partnership is about democratizing simulation technology and digitally transforming the workflow for a large hardware engineering audience. It eliminates the need to hand over designs to a specialist for power distribution network validation because it empowers hardware engineers to see and remedy the problems for themselves right in their trusted Altium PCB layout environment,” he said.

“Power Analyzer saves time by identifying problem areas leveraging Keysight’s simulation and analysis expertise. Customers want a product that allows them to gain early visibility into power integrity issues and avoid the pain of prototype re-spins late in the design cycle,” said Tom Bastanza, Senior Sales Director at Altium. “Our broad installed base of PCB designers faces growing power analysis challenges as designs become denser and more complex.

Open grid software to speed up simulation.

PCB designers using Power Analyzer gain insight into their power plane performance through analysis of voltage drop and current density from within their PCB layout environment. Altium integrated Keysight’s EM simulation technology with its modern graphical user interface to make power analysis fast, accurate, and easy to run.
