As a transistor-level power integrity analysis solution, Empyrean Patron^® features dynamic EM/IR, self-heating effect, and multi-state EM/IR analysis. It also features a lightweight, easy-to-configure, user-friendly, and visualized interface that supports layout back-annotation of all power integrity analysis results in an intuitive and fast fashion."Diodes has conducted an evaluation on Empyrean Patron^®. It features a simple, user-friendly, and graphics interface for pre-configuration and result display. It runs much faster in the actual design than our current tool set. What's more, thanks to Empyrean Technology's existing simulation acceleration technology, the larger the size of our chips, the more remarkable the acceleration effect. Empyrean Patron^® enables our engineers to quickly upload the analysis results to the built-in chip inspection platform for result highlighting and sorting. Its unique Probe On feature also facilitates users to prompt and display analysis results for review. These back-annotation features of the tool save our engineers time, give direct and visual message as compared to other legacy tools. As for service, we can get timely and efficient application support from Empyrean Technology's expert team  at any time."

Willsemi has adopted Empyrean Polas^® as its reliability analysis solution to make its product designs more reliable and rational. "As the design complexity increases, power design scenarios are becoming trickier than ever. In addition to single tubes, a variety types of multi-tube series are involved in the designs. Empyrean Polas^® provides a practical reference for such complex designs through the Rdson and EM analyses. It displays the Rdson and EM/IR-drop analysis results by net and layer, and the PAD current of the EM analysis, helping us discover connection issues, PAD distribution issues, and reliability issues, as well as improve reliability with decreased redundancy, optimized layout, and more compact IC design."

"Benefiting from abundant experiences and test data, MPS has been leading the CMOS power supply technology in the world. With help from Empyrean's Polas power layout analysis solution, we were able to analyze and build the required reliability into the design prior to tape out. We also chose Empyrean for their excellent support on a variety of customized features."

"During chip finishing time, short-debugging is always a painful exercise for us. With Empyrean's Skipper, our engineers could easily and quickly locate and pinpoint the shorts on the layout. Mixed-signal designs usually take a long time to simulate because we have to flatten the digital blocks into transistor-level blocks first and use SPICE simulator for the simulation. With Empyrean ALPS we can finish simulation multiple times faster than our existing solutions."

"Recent advanced designs have complicated clock structures to achieve higher performance and lower power consumption, which makes it hard to detect the clock problems in a short period of time. Empyrean ClockExplorer can help to report Clock KPI in various design stages such as pre-Place, pre-CTS, and post-CTS, with helpful numerical scores to indicate the quality of clock structure. This has enabled us to avoid issues that could have arisen in the later stages and enhance our product quality. "

"It was necessary to build a smooth mixed-signal IC design flow with a one-stop platform to bring our design method to the next level, with the help of TowerJazz's iPDK and Empyrean's AMS flow, a high degree of automation flow has been made possible. We also chose Empyrean for their ability to provide us excellent support all over the world."
