Product Overview

Q3D Extractor for Signal- and Power-Integrity Analysis

The ability to generate highly accurate reduced order models for use in a circuit simulation makes Q3D Extractor the ideal software to perform signal- and power-integrity analysis to study crosstalk, ground bounce, interconnect delays and ringing and to understand the performance of high-speed electronic designs such as multi-layer printed circuit boards, advanced electronic packages and 3D on-chip passive components. In addition, Q3D Extractor is essential for extracting accurate electrical parasitics of critical interconnect components in the package (bond wires) or on the board (critical nets) and for the connection path between the chip, package, and board (i.e., connectors, cables, sockets, and transmission lines). By leveraging Q3D Extractors dynamic links to Ansoft Designer® engineers benefit from an advanced design flow where they can easily investigate the effects that electrical parasitics have on circuit performance.

Q3D Extractor for Power Electronic Design

Q3D Extractor is ideal for the design of power electronic equipment used in hybrid electric technologies and power distribution applications to optimize inverter architectures and minimize bus inductance, over voltages and short circuit currents. Q3D Extractor can extract resistance, partial inductance, and capacitance parasitics from high-power bus bars, cables and high power inverter/converter packages and input them into Simplorer® to study the EMI/EMC performance of a power system. New links to ANSYS® Mechanical™ deliver the ability to study mechanical and thermal stresses caused by electrical currents.
