This update streamlines the process of automating and customizing simulations from the command line, which makes your simulation tasks faster and easier. For detailed information, refer to Broadband SPICE User Guide on the Cadence Support portal. Celsius PowerDC Block Power Assignment (BPA) File Format Support : PowerDC now supports the BPA file format. Similar to the Pin Location (PLOC) file, the BPA file is a current assignment file that defines the total current of a power grid cell, which is then equally distributed across the power pins within the cell. This provides better control over the power distribution. Ability to Run Multiple IR Drop Cases Sequentially : You can now select multiple result sinks from the Current-Limited IR Drop flow and run IR Drop analysis for them sequentially. PowerDC automatically runs the simulations in sequence after you select multiple result sinks. This saves time by automating the process. Enhanced Support for Mixed Conversion Devices : PowerDC now supports mixing different conversion devices, such as switching regulators and linear regulators within a single DC-DC/LDO instance. This enhancement offers added flexibility by letting you configure each instance in your design according to your specific needs. For detailed information, refer to PowerDC User Guide on the Cadence Support portal. PowerSI Monte Carlo Method Added : A new option, Monte Carlo Method, has been added in the Optimality dialog box.
