What is FloTHERM PCB? FloTHERM PCB is a unique, newsoftware program for streamlining conceptdevelopment of printed-circuit boards(PCBs), whilst ensuring good thermaldesign and accelerating the PCB designprocess. FloTHERM PCB facilitates collaborationbetween product marketing, electronicengineers and mechanical engineerson PCB design, particularly during theconceptual phase of the design process.FloTHERM PCB promotes a conceptualdesign process that is derived from thefunctional block diagram. Changesmade to the functional block diagram areinstantly reflected in the physical layoutand thermal representations. This keepsall team members in sync and enablesthem to contribute to concept developmentin real time. The result is pre-optimizedconcepts in less time and drasticreductions in late-cycle rework as productmarketing, mechanical, thermal andmanufacturing issues are solved beforeconcept commit. Who can use FloTHERM PCB? FloTHERM PCB is designed to be...

Sonnet\’s suites of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) Software are aimed at today\’s demanding design challenges involving predominantly planar (3D planar) circuits and antennas. Predominantly planar circuits include microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, PCB (single and multiple layers) and combinations with vias, vertical metal sheets (z-directed strips), and any number of layers of metal traces embedded in stratified dielectric material. The Sonnet® Suites™ develop precise RF models (S-, Y-, Z-parameters or extracted SPICE model) for planar circuits and antennas. The software requires a physical description of your circuit (arbitrary layout and material properties for metal and dielectrics), and employs a rigorous Method-of-Moments EM analysis based on Maxwell\’s equations that includes all parasitic, cross-coupling, enclosure and package resonance effects. Sonnet maintains a single, dedicated...
