Synplicity has announced an addition to its HAPS (High-performance ASIC Prototyping System) product family. The HAPS-51 leverages the Xilinx Virtex-5 LX330, the industry’s largest FPGA, and on-board memory to deliver faster ASIC verification. Previous HAPS systems employed daughter boards for memory access, while the new HAPS-51 uses memory located on the board and next to the FPGA device. As a result, the HAPS-51 system provides a cost-effecti...

Analog Devices has announced the availability of a free, downloadable circuit design environment that simplifies and speeds product design by allowing developers to capture schematics and simulate circuits for evaluation of ADI’s world-leading operational amplifiers (op amps) and other linear circuits. Developed by National Instruments , NI Multisim Analog Devices Edition is a new version of the NI Multisim SPICE simulation software created fo...

Express Logic has today announced the release of TraceX, its first host-based embedded development tool. TraceX enables embedded developers to visualize and better understand the behavior of their real-time systems. With TraceX, developers can see clearly the occurrence of system events like interrupts and context switches that occur out of view of standard debugging tools. The ability to identify and study these events, and to pinpoint the timin...
