Altium & Aras in next-gen ECAD/MCAD collaboration
Altium has announced a partnership with Aras, to provide advanced Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) capabilities to ECAD design teams.
SysFera & Kitware to integrate HPC technologies
SysFera and Kitware have announced that they are integrating their two core products. Kitware’s ParaView application is now offered as part of the SysFera-DS software solution through the remote visualisation feature and is available for all HPC (High Performance Computing) infrastructures.
Compression tool accelerates SoC design time
Synopsys says that VIA Technologies has successfully taped out a system-on-chip (SoC) design using Synopsys' DFTMAX Ultra compression, meeting test time and quality goals. The need to shorten test time in conjunction with increasing design complexity drove VIA Technologies requirement for higher test compression. DFTMAX Ultra and Synopsys' TetraMAX ATPG delivered 11X higher compression while maintaining high test quality and requiring only one we...
Altium signs on as a three year sponsor of ACTION
Altium has signed on as a three year sponsor of ACTION (Association of Cleantech Incubators of New England). Access to the company’s PCB design software, Altium Designer, will be provided to the ACTION community as part of the agreement. To facilitate design reuse and more efficient electronics design, the software provides improved support and features.
Add communication capabilities to your metering applications
Enabling engineers to save time when adding communication capabilities to their metering applications, Renesas Electronics Europe has introduced the 'Connect it! – Wireless M-Bus 868MHz' and 'Connect it! – Wireless M-Bus 169MHz' solution kits. These platforms save time by allowing engineers to re-use existing Wireless M-Bus solutions.
On-chip embedded flash test solution reduces design time
The DesignWare STAR Memory System for Embedded Flash product from Synopsys is claimed to be the industry's first integrated memory test and repair solution with test algorithms optimised for on-chip embedded flash memories. It is an automated pre- and post-silicon memory test, diagnostic and repair solution that enables designers to improve test coverage, reduce design time, lower test costs and maximise manufacturing yield.
Digital audio interface solution meets MIPI spec
The industry’s first MIPI SoundWireSM Controller Intellectual Property (IP) has been released by Cadence. SoundWire is a new digital audio interface specification from the MIPI Alliance that enables bi-directional digital communication with a focus on low complexity and low gate count, making it attractive to many mobile design applications.
AVX expands partnership with Modelithics
With the release of 45 Modelithics substrate scalable equivalent circuit models, AVX has expanded its partnership with Modelithics. When used in combination with electronic design automation tools, including Keysight ADS, Keysight Genesys and NI AWR Microwave Office, the highly accurate models speed up design decisions and circuit level optimisations.
Tool suite & RTOS now support the ARM Cortex-M7 processor
A tool suite and RTOS developed by Green Hills Software now support the ARM Cortex-M7 processor. The Green Hills Probe and SuperTrace Probe, the MULTI IDE, the μ-velOSity RTOS and the ARM C/C++ compilers deliver both the fastest and smallest code in the industry, according to the company.
