Power-Aware simulation assesses the effects of non-ideal PDN behavior on signal quality. The effects of Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) at the driver and via-to-via coupling through the power planes can be included in signal integrity simulations to determine how they affect system design margin. Use the DDRx wizard to accurately simulate signal/PDN interactions and to simplify the simulation process.
