To ensure predictable IC power integrity closure, a clear understanding of the impact of floorplanning on dynamic IR Drop and power noise is key. ERA helps designers early in the backend process, when the design is still open to making decisions that matter. Based on a prototype power delivery network (PDN) specification, qualitative early stage what-if floorplanning, PDN and power pad investigations can be performed.

FloorDirector ERA is blazingly fast with what-if exploration response in a few seconds.

FloorDirector's dynamic RC-based ERA engine, combined with its advanced power analysis, strengthens the understanding of power-related issues in the physical design space. This understanding ultimately helps decrease silicon area, and improves routability and yield.
