Achronix Semiconductor Corporation leveraged Ansys multiphysics simulation to successfully signoff on its latest FPGA, the Speedster®7t AC7t1500 FPGA. Using Ansys, Achronix safeguarded the thermal reliability and power integrity of its latest programmable chip, which uses advanced 7 nanometer (nm) silicon technology. This technology delivers high-bandwidth performance for demanding processing workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and networking infrastructure.

Due to the amount of power packed into each high-performing chip, temperature control and sensitivity are essential to successful design. To ensure product performance and safety, Achronix Ansys RedHawk, Totem, and Pathfinder are built on the Ansys® SeaScape™ big data analytics platform for electronic system design, which includes cloud execution on thousands of central processing unit (CPU) cores. This cloud-native architecture, coupled with CPU power, enables ultra-large, full-chip power analyses with high capacity and scalability.
