Circuit Analysis
Circuit Analysis Reports (CAR): Enhance your own knowledge and get to market more quickly.
 |
Chipworks' Circuit Analysis Reports provide full reverse engineering information of all or selected circuitry on a particular die - complete with detailed schematics to reveal the operation of a competitor's device. This competitive insight enhances your own design capabilities, minimizes risks associated with new product development and ultimately reduces your time to market.

Report Contents:
Reports are actually software applications that allow you to interact with the schematics, cross-reference to the images of the layout across all metal layers, and export netlist information for simulation and further analysis. Accompanying this format is a printed report that includes:
- Package and die overview including a package x-ray.
- Annotated die photograph identifying the major functional blocks.
- Complete set of hierarchical schematics to capture the operation of the device.
- Top-level schematic overview to capture the entire function of the circuit.
- Schematics for each analyzed block.
Chipworks' schematics include individual device size measurements, signal descriptions, cross references, and a signal reference list that summarizes all signal sources and destinations.
