A 64-bit ARM v8-A processor test chip based on TSMC’s 10FinFET process technology has been introduced by ARM. Simulation benchmarks show power and efficiency gains relative to TSMC’s 16FinFET+ process technology, which is currently used to implement chips powering many of today’s premium smartphones.

Micronas has deployed ClioSoft’s SOS7 Design Management Platform. ClioSoft is the pioneer and leading developer of SoC design configuration and enterprise IP management solutions for the semiconductor industry. ClioSoft’s SOS platform is integrated with major EDA flows from Cadence Design Systems, Keysight Technologies, Mentor Graphics and Synopsys.

Synopsys announces that key products in its functional safety verification solution are now certified for the ISO 26262 automotive functional safety standard. SGS-TÜV Saar, an independent accredited assessor, formally certified VCS Functional Verification solution, Certitude functional qualification solution and Verdi Debug solution with verification planning and coverage, following an industry-standard Functional Safety Tool Qualification.

Increasing design automation requires an appreciation for the challenges incurred and complexities involved at every stage of product development. EDA tools targeting complete product design offer many benefits, including the ability to increase functionality through extensions and plug-ins. Robert Huxel, Technical Marketing Manager, Altium and Philip Ling, Technical Marketing Manager, XJTAG explain.

Multi-sensor systems form a crucial basis for the success of Industry 4.0 applications. They record, process, and transmit a number of measurement parameters, such as pressure, acceleration, and temperature, all in a highly compact space. Machines are not the only ones to receive such sensors; workpieces are also increasingly being fitted with the intelligent sensor systems so that each product can provide its blueprint and report its manufacturi...

Following an extensive evaluation process, Cypress Semiconductor has selected the full Cadence RTL-to-signoff digital design flow and complete Spectre circuit simulation platform for all of its 40nm automotive chip designs. The evaluation process gave Cypress the opportunity to dramatically improve its turnaround time and productivity with the Cadence solution when compared with its previous flow.

Mentor Graphics Corporation has announced a comprehensive product-creation platform based on PADS PCB software that enables individual engineers and small teams to solve the engineering challenges involved in creating today’s electronic products. With increasing systems design complexity and the need for PCB, mechanical and systems engineers to access easy-to-deploy tools, the PADS platform has been extended to enable engineers to develop P...

A field trial carried out by Fujitsu, in partnership with Intel, is visualising manufacturing processes at Shimane Fujitsu, which primarily manufactures notebook PCs. The field trial linked the FUJITSU Cloud Service IoT Platform with the Intel IoT Gateway.

The E-Seal range of waterproof connectors from Canadian company EDAC are in stock at distributor Astute Electronics. They use a proprietary epoxy sealing process that seals the entire back of the connector rather than individual pins. “This approach delivers complete sealing with an impeccably smooth finish, guaranteeing no water ingress as they are fully tested to IP67 standards,” said Gary Evans, E-Mech Divisional Manager at Astute ...

Today’s consumer needs are significantly increasing PCB design and created a number of business challenges for example, increased pressure to meet delivery deadlines, the need to lower development cost, increasing product reliability and the rise of differentiated products. However, a number of internal barriers such as increasing design complexity, frequent design changes and validation of performance mean that a number of trade-offs have ...
