SystemPI brings together the power distribution network from voltage regulator to load — across boards, packages, and chips — into a single topology. Models can be swapped along the way to identify exactly where in the chain power integrity is compromised.

The challenge
The solution
HOW IT WORKS
Regulator, board, connectors, package, and chip are combined into a single topology, allowing power delivery to be tracked end to end.
A section of the chain can be replaced with a different model, allowing variants and root causes to be tested quickly.
SystemPI integrates with Celsius Studio, allowing thermal effects to be included when calculating power delivery.
VALUE
The power delivery chain from source to chip, variants tested, and root causes identified before hardware is produced.
A power delivery network does not stop at the edge of the board.
The fastest answer often comes from replacing one part at a time.
The power delivery network architecture is decided early, and it is costly to modify later.
The analysis brings together models from across the portfolio.
SystemPI provides the complete system view. The other tools go into depth on individual sections.
Implementation
The power rail with the lowest voltage and highest current is the best place to see the value of system-level analysis.
The result depends on where the models come from. We provide guidance on which sections require detailed extraction and which can be simplified.
You gain direct access to specialists who understand both power delivery networks and layout design, and who can evaluate the results alongside your team.
Ready?
A brief conversation is usually enough to clarify whether your power delivery network should be analyzed at the system level. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an open technical discussion about the power rails that typically cause issues.
FAQ
PowerSI analyzes individual boards and packages in detail. SystemPI combines the complete chain from source to chip and shows how the individual links interact. PowerSI often supplies the models used in SystemPI.
OptimizePI sizes the decoupling on a board. SystemPI looks at the power delivery network as a whole. Most start with the specific question, which is usually decoupling.
Because current generates heat, and heat changes resistance. SystemPI works together with Celsius Studio, allowing both aspects to be calculated within the same workflow.
When power distribution spans multiple boards or packages, and when margins are so tight that one element alone does not explain the issue.
