In today’s fast-paced electronics industry, cost efficiency is paramount for success. Synthelyzer™ is a cutting-edge ECAD plugin designed to automate electrical stress analysis, MTBF prediction, and component derating during PCB design. Seamlessly integrating with popular design tools like Altium, OrCAD, and Siemens EDA, Synthelyzer™ empowers engineers to create robust and reliable PCBs while minimizing development costs. Here are five key ways Synthelyzer™ can help you save, supported by insights from a recent case study of a leading electronics manufacturer.
1. Automated Component Derating
One of the most significant cost-saving features of Synthelyzer™ is its automated component derating capabilities. In the case study, a prominent electronics manufacturer faced high failure rates due to overstressed components in their multi-board systems. By using Synthelyzer™ for detailed derating analysis, engineers identified and mitigated these issues early in the design phase, resulting in a 30% reduction in field failures.
2. Identifying Cost-Effective Alternatives
Synthelyzer™ doesn’t just flag overstressed components; it also provides insights into cost-effective alternatives that meet performance requirements. The tool generates a comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM) that includes operational stresses, enabling engineers to identify high-quality replacements. This capability allows manufacturers to significantly reduce material costs, ultimately saving over $1 million in warranty claims.
3. Enhanced Design Efficiency
With advanced AI technology, Synthelyzer™ automates circuit stress calculations and thermal resistance data. This integration enables thorough analyses and streamlines the design process. In the case study, the predicted Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for redesigned systems improved from 35,000 hours to 50,000 hours. By reducing time spent on each project, your team can maximize productivity and profitability.
4. Minimizing PCB Weight and Size
Synthelyzer™ allows designers to optimize component selection early in the design phase, enhancing PCB weight and space efficiency. By identifying components that occupy unnecessary space, manufacturers can create more compact designs, reducing material costs and improving performance in weight-sensitive applications.
5. Improved Reliability and Reduced Failures
The plugin’s comprehensive analysis capabilities ensure robust product designs by pinpointing potential failure points. Early reliability assessments using Synthelyzer™ significantly improve MTBF predictions and prevent costly failures. By addressing these issues during development, manufacturers can avoid recalls and warranty claims, enhancing customer satisfaction and achieving long-term savings.
Conclusion
In an industry where every penny counts, Synthelyzer™ is a powerful ally in achieving cost efficiency. By automating processes, identifying alternatives, enhancing design efficiency, minimizing size and weight, and improving reliability, this innovative plugin streamlines PCB design and significantly reduces development costs. Embrace the future of electronic design with Synthelyzer™ and watch your savings grow!
