EMI and Power Integrity Analysis Tools
Incorporate our EMI and Power Integrity Analysis tools into your electronics engineering workflow and equip yourself with the insights needed to optimize your designs for reliability and compliance.
EMI Analysis
Comprehensive EMI Screening
Our EMI analysis tool offers a comprehensive examination of your electronic system, identifying major EMI sources efficiently and rapidly.
Mode Emissions Evaluation
Evaluate both common mode and differential mode emissions to gain insights into signal propagation throughout the system.
I/O Crosstalk Visualization
Visualize areas where I/O crosstalk occurs, enabling precise pinpointing of potential interference zones.
External Antenna Mechanisms
Consider various external antenna mechanisms that might impact your system’s EMI, ensuring a holistic approach to interference management.
Power Integrity Analysis (AC)
Wideband PI-Analysis
Our tool provides wideband Power Integrity Analysis of supply systems up to 10 GHz, uncovering high AC-impedance regions and potential resonances’ root causes. Avoiding high resonance peaks will improve the EMC behaviour also.
Decap Efficiency Assessment
Evaluate the efficiency of decoupling capacitors (Decaps) and visualize the impact of mounting inductances. Understand the performance of your Decaps (placement, connection inductance or wrong values of the decaps)
Virtual Decaps for Planning
Define virtual Decaps and place them virtually on your board for what-if scenarios, optimizing decoupling strategies and ensuring readiness for unforeseen challenges.
Power Integrity Analysis (DC)
Voltage Drops and Current Load
Perform DC-Analysis to identify IR-drop situations and regions with a high current load, providing insights into the power delivery system performance.
Insufficient Supply Voltage Identification
Identify areas where IC power pins receive insufficient supply voltages, preventing potential performance issues.
DC-Resistance Analysis
Extract DC-resistances between power pins to assess the efficiency of your power delivery network and allows to check IC vendor requirements for the connection from source to the sinks
What-If Scenarios
Explore what-if scenarios by driving the supply system with alternative voltage sources, making your design adaptable to changing conditions.
Stressed Via Recognition
Recognize stressed vias under high DC-current loads, ensuring the reliability of your power delivery network. Cross-probing into the CR-8000 design canvas allows a straight-forward identification of problematic vias facing the risk of fusing.

Inside Signal Integrity: Impedance Control - Part 2
In part 1 of this blog we took a back-to-basics approach and discussed line impedance and its effects in signal integrity. As every electrical conductor comprises capacitance, an inductance, and a frequency-dependent ohmic resistance, and with increasing frequencies, these electrical characteristics will influence and distort the signal.

What You Really Need to Know When You're Routing PCB Differential Pairs
Tips for when routing differential pairs - You can tell when something isn’t as clear as it should be. The same questions come up time and again. You ask three experts and get three different answers. Routing differential pairs can be like that. Why? Because “it depends” - on exactly what signals those pairs are carrying and what kind of PCB you’re creating.
