Cache coherent subsystem verification for Arteris' Ncore interconnect
Synopsys has announced the availability of the industry's first cache coherent subsystem verification solution for Arteris' Ncore interconnect. The Arteris Ncore interconnect is a configurable distributed heterogeneous cache coherent interconnect that enables SoC teams to efficiently design customised, fully coherent systems.
Arduino shield speeds stepper motor system prototyping
Supporting the evaluation of motor driver devices as well as enabling, facilitating and accelerating customers' development, ROHM Semiconductor announces an Arduino-based evaluation kit. Designed as a ‘shield’ to plug directly into the Arduino main board, the EVK integrates ROHM's HTSSOP-B28 packaged stepper motor drive IC and complements the company’s support ecosystem, allowing engineers to rapidly prototype their stepper moto...
Improving productivity, security & user experience for field workers
Bittium and Getac have established a partnership to improve productivity, security and user experience for field workers in the most demanding environments. Bittium's SafeMove Mobile VPN and Analytics software will now be offered to all Getac’s rugged tablets and notebooks as an option across Europe from May 2016 onwards.
Accurate thermal & air flow simulations for electromagnetic systems
Computer Simulation Technology (CST) has unveiled its upcoming Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) solver of CST STUDIO SUITE at IMS 2016, booth #739. The CHT solver offers accurate thermal and air flow simulations for electromagnetic systems.
CST releases free EM simulation package for students
Computer Simulation Technology (CST) has announced the newest release of CST STUDIO SUITE – Student Edition at IMS 2016, booth #739. The student edition is a special free version of its flagship EM simulation package specifically for students. This release adds a low-frequency solver especially suitable for learning about eddy currents.
Reduce semiconductor process development time
Synopsys has announced a pre-wafer simulation solution to help semiconductor manufacturers reduce process node development time. The solution provides a comprehensive process, transistor and circuit simulation flow that enables technology development and design teams to evaluate various transistor and process options using a design technology co-optimisation methodology that starts in the pre-wafer research phase.
Reference design enables rapid HMI evaluation & deployment
Design engineers can now rapidly evaluate and deploy HMI devices using the MAXREFDES82# smart force sensor reference design from Maxim Integrated Products. Typical weigh scales provide one dimension of information, downward force. The MAXREFDES82# reference design provides both downward force and centre of mass, by collecting responses from four load cells using the MAX11254, a 24-bit, 6-channel ADC.
Aegis helps EPE to improve quality
It was in 2000 that EPE Corporation, the high-reliability electronics manufacturing company, first selected Aegis as their Manufacturing Software System vendor. Some of the key Aegis MES functions that allows EPE to remain a strong EMS provider include NPI Automation, Real-time WIP Tracking, Materials Control, Machine Data Acquisition for Quality and Performance and Factory-Wide Paperless and Version Control.
Industry’s first LoRa evaluation kits for LPWAN
Microchip has announced the availability of what the company claims to be the industry’s first complete LoRa technology evaluation kits. The kits provide customers with all the components required to create an LPWAN for North America in the 915MHz band (DV164140-2) or for Europe in the 868MHz band (DV164140-1).
ST & Arduino expand maker-community access to STM32
Moving to enable makers to make even more than before, STMicroelectronics and Arduino have announced an agreement that brings the industry-leading STM32 family of MCU, along with ST’s full portfolio of sensing, power and connectivity technology, even closer to the Arduino maker community.
