Real Stress Analysis: CircuitHawk™ provides genuine stress analysis by conducting detailed automated evaluations of your design. Unlike traditional methods that may use static or simplified models, our software calculates stress based on actual operational parameters—such as power dissipation, voltage, and current—across all components. This is achieved through advanced techniques like Kirchhoff loops and Fourier Analysis, ensuring that stress calculations accurately reflect real-world conditions.

Advanced Error Detection: Surpasses traditional DRC methods by identifying stress-related issues and other critical errors that standard designs often miss, ensuring a more thorough validation process.

Connectivity Verification: Uses Regular Expression patterns to detect connectivity issues, such as net name conflicts, power conflicts, and grounding problems. It includes pre-defined rules for various technologies, including Open Drain/Open Collector Pins, I2C, PCIe, and more.

Chip Interconnection Verification: Manages complex ICs with numerous pins by verifying compliance with reference designs, addressing the challenges of manual verification.

Functional, Safety, and Testability Rules:

• Functional Errors: Identifies issues such as incorrect voltage levels that could impact circuit performance.

• Safety Errors: Ensures that safety functions are protected from failures in non-safety functions.

• Testability Errors: Verifies the proper implementation of Built-In Test (BIT) circuits, including C-BIT, P-BIT, I-BIT, and ATE-BIT, for comprehensive testing.

ESD and Voltage Spike Rules: Evaluate the design's ability to handle voltage spikes and check if protection components are effective against ESD voltage levels.

User-Defined Rules: Enables the creation of custom rules using Regular Expression patterns, allowing for adaptation to specific design needs.
