What is an Electronics Digital Twin (eDT)?

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical product, system, or process synchronized with the in-service physical asset. Digital twin technologies enable advancement in design, lifecycle management and predictive maintenance of the physical asset.

With the drive to AI-enabled, software-defined products, there is a need to extend the digital twin paradigm. An Electronics Digital Twin (eDT) is a virtual representation of an electronic system. eDTs enable engineers to “shift left” and accelerate design, verification, and software development throughout the product lifecycle.
