OptimizePI enables design teams to balance decoupling capacitor (decap) cost and performance for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and IC packages. Decap costs savings of 15% to 50% are typical. High performance is analytically assured for the power delivery system (PDS) at both a system and component level. OptimizePI is built on proven Sigrity hybrid electromagnetic circuit analysis technology in combination with our unique optimization engine to quickly pinpoint the best possible decap selections and placement locations.
