FIXTRESS™ AUTOMATED SCHEMATIC REVIEW (ASR)

Easy Detection of Design Errors Using Logical and Parametric Functional Verification. FiXtress Schematic Review automatically detects schematic design errors based on component parameters and rules. Typical engineering practices result in a manual, complex design review process, and fiXtress ASR automates this procedure. It reduces design time, increases design quality and verifies proper implementation of reference design as specified by IC manufacturers. fiXtress ASR is used by ADAS chip manufacturers as Rule Based Verification System.

FIXTRESS™ PRECISE STRESS ANALYSIS

Detailed Analysis after Design Completion, Performs DC & AC Stress Analysis Using Kirchhoff Law and Fourier Analysis. fiXtress Precise performs innovative automated stress analysis calculation, providing highly accurate results. It accounts for component operational stress, identifies over-stressed and over-designed components, offers thermal-placement guidance, generates stress derating reports, and provides actual MTBF and service life calculations. Finally, it performs Electrical Stress Analysis (ESA) and detects design errors before PCB production.
