Melika Roshandell, Cadence product marketing director for the Celsius Thermal Solver, recently published an article in Designing Electronics discussing how the use of modern thermal analysis techniques can help engineers meet the challenges of today’s complex electronic designs, which require ever more functionality and performance to meet consumer demand.

Today’s modern electronic designs require ever more functionality and performance to meet consumer demand. These requirements make scaling traditional, flat, 2D-ICs very challenging. With the recent introduction of 3D-ICs into the electronic design industry, IC vendors need to optimize the performance and cost of their devices while also taking advantage of the ability to combine heterogeneous technologies and nodes into a single package. While this greatly advances IC technology, 3D-IC design brings about its own unique challenges and complexities, a major one of which is thermal management.

To overcome thermal management issues, a thermal solution that can handle the complexity of the entire design efficiently and without any simplification is necessary. However, because of the nature of 3D-ICs, the typical point tool approach that dissects the design space into subsections cannot adequately address this need. This approach also creates a longer turnaround time, which can impact critical decision-making to optimize design performance. A more effective solution is to utilize a solver that not only can import the entire package, PCB, and chiplets but also offers high performance to run the entire analysis in a timely manner.

Celsius Thermal Management Solutions

Cadence offers the Celsius Thermal Solver, a unique technology integrated with both IC and package design tools such as the Cadence Innovus Implementation System, Allegro PCB Designer, and Voltus IC Power Integrity Solution. The Celsius Thermal Solver is the first complete electrothermal co-simulation solution for the full hierarchy of electronic systems from ICs to physical enclosures. Based on a production-proven, massively parallel architecture, the Celsius Thermal Solver also provides end-to-end capabilities for both in-design and signoff methodologies and delivers up to 10X faster performance than legacy solutions without sacrificing accuracy.

By combining finite element analysis (FEA) for solid structures with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for fluids (both liquid and gas, as well as airflow), designers can perform complete system analysis in a single tool. For PCB and IC packaging, engineering teams can combine electrical and thermal analysis and simulate the flow of both current and heat for a more accurate system-level thermal simulation than can be achieved using legacy tools. In addition, both static (steady-state) and dynamic (transient) electrical-thermal co-simulations can be performed based on the actual flow of electrical power in advanced 3D structures, providing visibility into real-world system behavior.

Designers are already co-simulating the Celsius Thermal Solver with Celsius EC Solver (formerly Future Facilities’ 6SigmaET electronics thermal simulation software), which provides state-of-the-art intelligence, automation, and accuracy. The combined workflow that ties Celsius FEA thermal analysis with Celsius EC Solver CFD results in even higher-accuracy models of electronics equipment, allowing engineers to test their designs through thermal simulations and mitigate thermal design risks.

Conclusion

As systems become more densely populated with heat-dissipating electronics, the operating temperatures of those devices impact reliability (device lifetime) and performance. Thermal analysis gives designers an understanding of device operating temperatures related to power dissipation, and that temperature information can be introduced into an electrothermal model to predict the impact on device performance. The robust capabilities in modern thermal management software enable new system analyses and design insights. This empowers electrical design teams to detect and mitigate thermal issues early in the design process—reducing electronic system development iterations and costs and shortening time to market.

Hi ,

  FIrst of all , I hope I have posted my query in the right place . I am expecting software support/suggestions for the below issue.

   I am working on LTE which use USB interface and the Host Controller is USB 2.0 . The BSP is from NXP which supports Cadence USB 3.0 Host controller and with USB 3.0 supported cadence driver.NXP had used the   USB 3.0 host controller for USB type C based device.

  Cadence USB 3.0 based device driver seems to be backward compatible for USB 2.0 host controller .Since basic LTE functionalities seems to be working fine I continued to use the same driver in Linux 4.14.62 

  But I am facing a kernel warning of unhandled interrupt and the crash log points to cdns_irq function as shown below  The crash/kerenel warning is very random and not occuring all the time.

Hello everyone. In recent days, I'm having a weird problem with sound output on my Windows 10 PC. In fact, I can't control the loudness of it. So is there any possibility of PCB of sound card being damaged?

Hi 

I have a Xtensa compiler issue that the compilation for switch case would be optimized in some patterns and leads to unexpected result. I cross-checked the assembly code and found that such compiler optimization seems to be similar to the tree-switch-conversion feature in GCC compiler

• https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.1.0/gcc/Optimize-Options.html
  -ftree-switch-conversion
      Perform conversion of simple initializations in a switch to initializations from a scalar array. This flag is enabled by default at -O2 and highe

Unfortunately I don't find any similar compiler option(like -fno-tree-switch-conversion) in Xtensa compiler(XCC) to enable/disable such feature and such feature seems like enabled in XCC by default even if I'm using -O0 for the least optimization.

I'm wondering if there's any possible solution to permanently disable such feature in XCC?

PS: The release version of XCC compiler I'm using is RD-2012.5

Thanks!

Hi All

I followed tutorial video below for using Design link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9JmFF8lqA0

and I followed the video with embedded board design file which should be same one on video

I did every set. but  at 2:55 of video, Steve have the tabs of both design names on top of Constraint Manager in video

but my one didn't exist them

which one would be different?

there was some comment on command windows but I think they would not be problem here

regard

Hi,

I found that under the Dark Theme of PCB Environment Editor 17.4,

the window background is not all dark, resulting in unclear text display。

As shown in the figure below：

We are trying to run compilation, elab and sim with command xrun -r -u alu, where alu is one of the units to execute. we are getting the following errors.

1) xmsim: *E,DLMKDF: Unable to add default DEFINE std       /home/xxxx/Cad/xcelium/tools/inca/files/STD.
    xmsim: *E,DLMKDF: Unable to add default DEFINE synopsys  /home/xxxx/Cad/xcelium/tools/inca/files/SYNOPSYS

2) xmsim: *W,DLNOHV: Unable to find an 'hdl.var' file to load in.

What is the purpose of hdl.var

3) xmsim: *F,NOSNAP: Snapshot 'alu' does not exist in the libraries.

I cannot see in log files, which libraries is it referring to??

Any one request you to help on how to debug these.
