Altium and Nimbic showcase power integrity product

CARLSBAD & MOUNTAIN VIEW, USA: Altium Ltd, a global leader in Smart System Design Automation, 3D PCB design (Altium Designer) and embedded software development (TASKING) along with Nimbic, a leading provider of electromagnetic simulation solutions for signal integrity, power integrity and EMI analysis, announce a new development partnership.

This will make Nimbic the newest developer partner to join Altium's newly formed Altium Developer program. The agreement consists of a strategic alliance between the two companies and the introduction of a new power integrity solution - Altium PI-DC.

Altium PI-DC gives users the ability to validate DC voltage and current performance in their designs before prototype and production. Now, designers can avoid issues with power delivery and are better able to identify potential failure points. This includes high via currents that could cause fusing, or high resistance neck-down regions resulting in excessive voltage drop.

Built from the ground-up, Altium PI-DC is based on Nimbic's specialized 3D full-wave electromagnetic solver, and is designed to address the requirements of large-scale power integrity problems. Unlike other solutions in the market, the Altium PI-DC delivers fast solution times without compromising on accuracy.
