Since the Power Analyzer functions within Altium Designer, there are no manual data import/export requirements, data conversions, or separate applications to be run – start the Power Analyzer from the schematic or PCB editor, set the desired test parameters then run the simulation. Provided as a downloadable Altium Extension, the Power Analyzer integrates directly with Altium Designer to allow PI-DC simulation and analysis of the current PCB project. Such a tool is available for Altium Designer, the Power Analyzer by Keysight. The DC analysis of a Power Delivery Network, or the results of its DC Power Integrity (PI-DC), aims at ensuring that adequate copper has been provided in the path from the voltage sources to the loads – in other words, that the planes, tracks, and vias on the board are of sufficient size (and characteristics) to meet the power consumption requirements of the devices on the board.įortunately, the guesswork can be removed from the assessment of a PCB's power delivery network through the use of a DC Power Integrity (PI-DC) simulation tool, which analyzes a board design's DC performance based on its electrical and physical properties. With modern digital designs featuring high-speed circuitry, densely populated boards, and multiple low-voltage supply rails, the demands placed on the design's DC Power Delivery Network require an analytical approach to its design.
