Ansys Multiphysics Solutions Enable Signoff Verification for Intel 16 Process Node

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Intel Foundry Services (IFS) certified Ansys multiphysics solutions for signoff verification of advanced integrated circuits (ICs) designed with the Intel 16 silicon manufacturing process. The predictive accuracy of Ansys' power integrity and signal integrity platforms helps designers increase the performance of edge AI, graphic processing, and wireless communication products by avoiding wasteful over-design. The collaboration with IFS validated a seamless electronic design automation (EDA) flow that delivers high productivity for joint customers.

Ansys RedHawk-SC and Ansys Totem are recognized as industry standards for power integrity signoff of digital and analog designs. The solutions' cloud-enabled data infrastructure provides unparalleled capacity to analyze full-chip designs, hierarchically or flat. Ansys PathFinder-SC uses the same elastic compute infrastructure to verify the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry found on all chips.

"Ansys and IFS, with a history of close collaboration, are pleased with the broad support of our Intel 16 process including our RF capabilities," said Rahul Goyal, vice president & general manager for Intel's Product & Design Ecosystem Enablement group. "We believe in providing our foundry customers with the widest possible array of industry-leading EDA tools that work in their existing design platforms and that make optimal use of our advanced manufacturing technology."

"Ansys works with leading foundry partners like Intel Foundry Services to address complex multiphysics challenges and meet stringent power, performance, and reliability requirements," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of the electronics, semiconductor, and optics business unit at Ansys. "Ansys' signoff platform helps empower mutual customers to accelerate design convergence with greater confidence thanks to the collaborative work between the companies to ensure silicon predictive accuracy and a smooth user experience."
