What checks can be done using redhawk?

oStatic IR Drop Analysis: Calculates the average voltage drop across the PDN based on average current consumption (leakage + average switching).

Dynamic IR Drop Analysis (Voltage Droop): Simulates transient voltage drops based on switching activity.

Power/Ground EM Analysis: Checks for electromigration violations (average, RMS, peak current density) on the VDD and VSS network wires and vias based on calculated currents.

Signal EM Analysis: Checks for EM violations on signal interconnects, which is increasingly important at advanced nodes.

Electrothermal Co-simulation (RedHawk-SC Electrothermal): Simulates the interaction between power dissipation, temperature, and electrical performance (IR drop, EM limits are temperature-dependent).

Timing Impact Analysis (with Path FX): Can analyze how voltage variations (IR drop) impact the timing of critical paths.
