RS Components to sponsor open source design conference
RS Components (RS) is sponsoring ORConf, an open source digital design and embedded systems conference that covers from the transistor level up to Linux user space and beyond — featuring presentations and discussion on free and open source IP projects, implementations on FPGA and in silicon, verification, EDA tools, licensing and embedded software.
Low-cost VNA boasts dynamic range of 118dB at 10Hz
Pico Technology’s PicoVNA 106 Low-Cost Vector Network Analyser - an economical USB-controlled, professional-grade 300kHz to 6GHz Vector Network Analyser (VNA) with excellent performance, portability, and affordability is available at Saelig. Despite its small size and low cost, its full-function, minimal-error, 'Quad RX' four-receiver architecture supports both 8- and 12-term calibration without the uncorrectable switching errors, delays, a...
European FP7 project links the silicon photonic ecosystem
The European FP7 project PLAT4M has now been completed with results that exceeded expectations, according to Leti. Si photonics has long been expected to bring substantial breakthroughs in very high speed data communications, telecommunications and supercomputing. In addition, it is one of the most promising industrial-production candidates because of its potential for large-scale and low-cost production capability in existing CMOS foundries.

Online tool accelerates SoC design delivery
Expanded support has been announced for Cadence Design Systems' enhanced ARM DesignStart programme, including the newly added ARM Cortex-M3 processor and the ARM CoreLink SDK-100 System Design Kit, which includes the fully verified CoreLink SSE-050 subsystem, enabling engineers to further accelerate the delivery of mixed-signal Internet of Things (IoT) designs.
Partnership accelerates robust design optimisation
Customers will be able to accelerate the next-gen of high-performance computing, mobile and automotive products thanks to a new partnership between ANSYSand Synopsys that will tightly integrate ANSYS' power integrity and reliability signoff technologies with Synopsys' physical implementation solution for in-design usage. Developers of innovative, cost-effective and reliable smart products need to quickly optimise, validate and signoff their desig...
Lifetime prediction for ICs in all design environments
Fraunhofer IIS/EAS is offering advanced modelling services for device degradation effects in North America. Using these proprietary techniques, designers are now able to verify the long-term behaviour of ICs and systems especially in safety critical applications. Compared to today’s solutions, the advanced models can be used in all common industrial design environments. In addition to standard degradation effects, Fraunhofer also takes into...
