Tanner EDA will unveil a multi-threaded version of its SPICE analogue simulator T-Spice at DATE 2007. Its suite of analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuit and MEMS design tools is designed to run under Microsoft’s new Vista operating system which spans schematic capture (S-Edit), simulation (T-Spice), layout (L-Edit) and foundry compatible design verification (HiPer Verify). The new analogue simulator will not only offer higher performan...

Timed to launch with the Intel Embedded Roadmap, Kontron has announced its latest wave of technology for Intel Core2 Duo processors. With nine different embedded platforms available between now and the end of the first quarter, Kontron will offer the latest board technology across a variety of form factors with Intel’s new multi-core architecture.

Tundra Semiconductor and Enea have collaborated to deliver Enea’s LINX interprocess communications (IPC) services over RapidIO. Working with Tundra’s new Serial RapidIO development platforms, Enea has implemented and verified complete support for LINX over RapidIO and interoperability with Tundra’s RapidIO switches. Together, RapidIO and LINX provide a reliable, scalable, high performance interconnect platform for quickly developing and d...

Texas Instruments has announced a new version of its Code Composer StudioT Platinum Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The new Code Composer Studio Platinum, version 3.3 (CCStudio v3.3) raises multiprocessor support and analysis features to a much higher level to meet the rapidly evolving needs of advanced embedded system development. With enhanced features such as a new unified breakpoint manager, cache visibility tools, and fully integra...

Continuing to drive the adoption of DSP technology in the next generation of digital video applications, Texas Instruments has released the TMS320DM6437 Digital Video Development Platform (DVDP) for its DM643x digital media processors announced last quarter. The DM6437 DVDP brings the complete DaVinciT technology development environment to these processors by bundling a full TMS320DM6437 evaluation module (EVM) with a complete suite of DaVinci de...

The SBX-iGLX embedded computing platform from Anders Electronics combines a PC/104+ modular architecture with CAN bus connectivity, Ethernet connections, PCMCIA and CardBus interfaces to deliver flexible expansion options for industrial applications. Using the new platform, developers can create cost-effective and compact embedded computer configurations with feature sets tailored precisely to their needs.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new motor control development kit, built around the recently-announced 32-bit STR750 microcontroller, which enables the rapid development of high-performance vector-control applications, using both Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and 3-phase AC Induction Motors, for cost-sensitive appliance, industrial and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) markets.

To address the growing need to pro-actively reduce power consumption in embedded systems, Tensilica has announced the Xenergy estimator, an energy estimator for both Xtensa configurable processor and Diamond Standard processor users. By using the Xenergy tool to optimize for energy early in the SOC (System On Chip) design cycle, designers can cut processor and local memory energy requirements by up to half by making intelligent design trade-off...
