What is PowerSI?

PowerSI is a signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) simulation software developed by Cadence Design Systems. It is used by engineers to analyze and optimize the electrical performance of high-speed electronic designs, including printed circuit boards (PCBs), integrated circuit (IC) packages, and connectors. PowerSI helps to identify and resolve potential SI/PI issues such as signal reflections, crosstalk, simultaneous switching noise, and power distribution network impedance, ensuring reliable system operation. The software provides accurate and efficient simulation capabilities, enabling designers to optimize their designs for signal and power integrity performance early in the design cycle, reducing the risk of costly redesigns and improving time-to-market.
