PadOptima
Optimal Power Pad Configuration
PadOptima is an optimal pad configuration solution to find optimum number and location of power pads to minimize painful and time-consuming design iteration. It prevents the excessive voltage drop in core area and the excessive simultaneous output switching noise in signal IO pad area in early design stage. It also supports post-layout chip-to-package connectivity verification with package interface information.
