CST PCB Studio 2012 includes CST PCB Studio IR-drop solver, permitting quick calculation of current distribution and voltage drop on multilayered printed circuit boards and packages. Helps perform adjustment of voltage regulator modules nominal output, strategic placement of lines, and early identification of problematic potential distributions. CST PCBS PI solver is used to verify target impedance requirements. Enhancements include models with increased accuracy for vias and seamless decaps placement on imported PCB/package layouts. 3D impedance distribution plot helps visually identify problematic areas and study variations of the original layout.
