Blast Rail NX

Blast Rail™ NX provides IC designers with integrated power analysis and planning, voltage-drop analysis, voltage-drop-induced delay analysis, and electromigration analysis on rail wires and vias, enabling them to maintain power integrity in their designs. Blast Rail NX is fully integrated with Magma’s RTLto-GDSII implementation flow to enable a correct-by-construction rail design solution.

Complete, correct-by-construction methodology for rail analysis minimizes voltage drop and electromigration problems and eliminates the need for postlayout analysis and repair.
Transient analysis accounts for sudden changes in power consumption by considering decoupling capacitors and package inductance.
Embedded power analysis accounts for static, dynamic and short circuit power.
Support for static, dynamic and transient rail analysis ensures power network integrity.
Thermal analysis capability accounts for temperature impact on leakage power.
Provides concurrent timing, IR drop,power and thermal analysis to minimize design iterations.
GUI-based visualization and what-if analysis capabilities enable users to plan and define optimal power grid configurations.
Accurate macro modeling and abstraction of IP and soft macro blocks using Magma’s unique GlassBox™ technology.
Embedded, static timing engine enables accurate determination of voltage drop-induced delays and static and transient analysis for rapid timing closure.
Unified data model architecture provides increased speed and capacity along with instant access to analysis data that enables on-the-fly correction, avoiding costly post-route iterations.
Interfaces with industry-standard simulators and supports standard file formats including pre-characterized power libraries.
