Cadence AI-Driven Multiphysics System Analysis Solution Enables Wistron to Dramatically Accelerate Product Development
December 22, 2023 | Cadence Design SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced that Wistron, a leading technical service provider (TSP), has adopted and deployed the new AI-driven electromagnetic (EM) in-design analysis workflow, including the Cadence® Optimality™ Intelligent System Explorer and the Cadence Clarity™ 3D Solver, to design a complex 800G network switch. Using the Optimality Explorer’s AI-driven optimization technology and the Clarity 3D Solver for fast, accurate and scalable EM in-design analysis, Wistron was able to analyze large volumes of data—improving overall design reliability while realizing a 2X improvement in turnaround time (TAT).
Legacy 3D solvers typically deliver slower simulation results due to excessive run times and memory usage. In contrast, the Clarity 3D Solver, with its distributed multiprocessing technology and virtually unlimited capacity, quickly analyzes large and complex PCB, IC packaging and complete systems without compromising accuracy. Its exceptional performance is further fueled by the Optimality Explorer, a generative AI-driven, in-design multiphysics system analysis and optimization solution that allows design engineers to explore 3D EM and high-speed signal and power integrity results efficiently and effectively. By revealing design configurations that may not be manually achievable, the Optimality Explorer streamlines design iterations—resulting in shorter and more efficient design cycles.
“By adopting Cadence’s AI-driven optimization solution including Optimality Explorer alongside the Clarity 3D Solver for our 800G network switch and GPU server, we leveraged the design of experiments model to explore multiple simulations quickly and realized far more robust designs with a 2X improvement in TAT,” said Christopher Huang, vice president of the Enterprise and Networking Business Group at Wistron. “With a shift left of AI-enabled multiphysics systems analysis into our electronic design workflow, we are not only improving product performance but gaining valuable design insight and engineering efficiencies.”
“As high-speed electronic systems continue to grow in complexity to meet market demands, Cadence is committed to developing software solutions that address multiphysics challenges and the associated scaling demands,” said Ben Gu, corporate vice president of the Multiphysics System Analysis Group at Cadence. “Wistron has embraced the Cadence multiphysics system analysis portfolio to expedite design throughput and engineering turnaround time. The Clarity and Optimality solutions, coupled with HPC, are the trifecta for next-generation design success.”
The Clarity 3D Solver and the Optimality Explorer support Cadence’s Intelligent System Design™ strategy, which enables customers to accelerate system innovation.

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
