New in Power Analyzer

Now reading version 21. For the latest, read: New in Power Analyzer for version 22
 

Altium's Power Analyzer by Keysight technology brings powerful DC Power Integrity analysis into the board design environment. In your Altium design software, this is achieved by creating and configuring a Power Analyzer Keysight document and then running an Altium Designer extension to extract all the power net analysis settings and the 3-dimensional copper structural data. This data is then passed to the Power Analyzer by Keysight DC PI analysis engine. 

Results of the physical simulation are displayed directly in the PCB editor as colored Heatmap overlays, where the designer can quickly identify the behavior of the board, capture images, and probe for more information.

The Power Analyzer by Keysight is under continuous development and outlines the changes made in each version. This page also includes information about supported versions of Altium Designer.

Power net configuration, the review of existing power analysis results, and the generation of a power analysis report can all be performed by anyone with a valid Altium Designer license. Performing a new Power Analysis requires a valid Power Analyzer by Keysight license. Learn more about licensing the Power Analyzer by Keysight

With the relocation of the Power Analyzer documentation - to be an integral part of the Altium Designer documentation - release notes can now be found as part of the set of release notes for the applicable release of Altium Designer (see: Public Release Notes for Altium Designer). Moving forward, any new features in relation to the Power Analyzer will be reflected on the New in Altium Designer page, for the applicable release of Altium Designer.
