Verification: Tales from DAC: Altair's HERO Is Your Hero

XTeam

Emulators are great. They vastly speed up verification to the point where it’s hard to imagine life without them; as designs grow in complexity, simple simulation can’t keep up for the biggest designs. The extra oomph from emulation is almost a necessity for the top percentages of design sizes. However, many users of Palladium aren’t efficiently using their unit’s processing power, and as a result they’re missing out…

System, PCB, & Package Design : BoardSurfers: Designing a Rigid-Flex Board Using PCB Editor

mrigashira

Whether you are designing the latest pace-maker or a LED strip, you have definitely pondered awhile about rigid PCBs and flex PCBs. You might have gone through a pile of literature, called up friends who have already done it (after all flex PCBs have been around for more than half a century now), and deliberated with your team to finally settle on a rigid-flex PCB. Well, what had started as a cutting-edge requirement to…

Verification: Tales from DAC: Semiconductor Design in MY Cloud? It's More Likely Than You Think

XTeam

Everyone keeps talking about “the cloud” this and “the cloud” that these days—but you’re a semiconductor designer. Everyone keeps saying “the cloud” is revolutionizing all aspects of electronics design—but what does it mean for you? Cadence's own Tom Hackett discussed this in a presentation at the Cadence Theater during DAC 2019.

What people refer to as “the cloud…

System, PCB, & Package Design : DATA Pulse: In Search of the Perfect Environment—Configuring Allegro EDM

Auromala

Ah, the office temperature – that eternal debate. As in many offices, ours has some people who feel that they're in the Sahara Desert, others who bundle up like they're in Antarctica, a few who just don't care about the temperature, and some who can't quite figure out if they're ever comfortable, like Goldilocks. There is however no 'perfect' temperature. So many variables impact the physical environment of the office…

PCB、IC封装：设计与仿真分析: 关于PCB安装孔所需了解的一切

TeamAllegro

安装孔似乎很简单——只需将印刷电路板安装到外壳或表面上，选择一个适合电路板以及待安装表面的螺丝尺寸，然后根据此规格钻孔即可。但与印刷电路板中其他设计一样，当增加高速信号并减小形状因子后，安装孔将变得复杂起来。突然间，每个导电层都能影响电磁干扰覆盖区域，包括安装孔。这时，我们就需要考虑公差，从而确保为电路板上所需的所有元件、过孔和走线留足间隙。那么，除了目视要求，安装孔设计还应该注意哪些方面呢？安装孔配置安装孔通常可分为两类：带有支撑特性：通常连接接地平面的电镀...
