With the Signal Integrity extension, you can analyze the Signal Integrity performance of a PCB from either the Schematic or the PCB Editors, evaluate net screening results against predefined tests, perform reflection and crosstalk analysis on selected nets, and display and manipulate the waveforms in the Waveform Analysis window.

The SIMetrix/SIMPLIS Interface extension provides seamless access to Catena Software's popular Circuit Simulation package. SIMetrix/SIMPLIS is a combination of two independent circuit simulators: SIMetrix, a SPICE-based simulator with numerous enhancements including custom models for power transistor devices; and SIMPLIS, a fast simulator that uses piecewise linear approximations and includes useful analysis modes for switching power supply circuits.

The WEBENCH® Altium Connector is a seamless interface between Altium Designer and TI’s online WEBENCH® Power Designer. By using the WEBENCH® Altium Connector, you’re able to create a custom WEBENCH power supply from within the Altium Designer platform. The power supply design can be easily created in WEBENCH, and exported and simulated offline inside Altium Designer, giving you the opportunity to further customize and integrate the design into a larger circuit. The offline WEBENCH simulation engine can be used to simulate any analog circuit created in Altium Designer. WEBENCH Altium Connector key features and benefits: Seamless connection between Altium Designer and TI’s WEBENCH Power Designer and Architect speeds system design. WEBENCH menu in Altium provides easy access to the entire WEBENCH Designer tool suite, including Power Designer and Architect, FPGA and Microprocessor Power Architect, Filter Designer, Clock Architect and LED Architect. WEBENCH simulation test bench in Altium includes TI models and simulation settings. WEBENCH simulation engine provides fast and accurate analog circuit simulation for any circuit design inside Altium.
