FloTHERM enables engineers to create virtual models of electronic equipment, perform thermal analysis, and test design modifications quickly and easily before any physical prototypes are built. FloTHERM uses advanced CFD techniques to predict airflow, temperature, and heat transfer in components, boards, and complete systems. With a 98% user recommendation rating, FloTHERM is the undisputed world leader for electronics thermal analysis and has more users, application examples, libraries and published white papers than all otherModels that range in scale from single ICs on a PCB to full racks of electronics are assembled quickly from a complete set of SmartParts (intelligent model creation macros) that are supplied with FloTHERM from a large list of suppliers from around the globe. SmartParts capture modeling...

CoWare announced the 2010.1 release of CoWare SPW products. The SPW 2010.1 release advances the LTE (Long Term Evolution) Wireless Reference Library and adds a complete Xilinx implementation flow that includes direct source translation technology from C Data Flow (CDF) into RTL. The CoWare SPW 2010.1 release is available immediately. With this release, CoWare has reverted back to the product’s original SPW name (previously Signal Processing Designer, SPD). The new Xilinx flow combines SPW hardware implementation technology for RTL generation with Xilinx’s highly-optimized IP components from its ISE flow into one, easy-to-use flow. SPW 2010.1 now also offers direct source translation technology which takes CDF models and translates them to RTL. Using the polymorphism in SPW, this technology allows the...

Synplify PremierThe Synplify Premier solution is the industry\’s most productive FPGA implementation and debug environment. It includes all the features of Synplify Pro and additionally provides a comprehensive suite of tools and technologies for advanced FPGA designers as well as ASIC prototypers targeting single FPGA-based prototypes. The Synplify Premier software delivers fast turnaround time capabilities and feedback for users seeking to quickly implement the design on the board or to tune their design projects prior to final implementation. It addresses the most challenging aspects of FPGA design including timing closure and has the ability to perform graph-based physical synthesis for more accurate upfront timing prediction. It provides flows for fast logic verification and RT-Level debug. Under the hood, it contains...

CX-Supervisor is dedicated to the design and operation of PC visualisation and machine control. It is not only simple to use for small supervisory and control tasks, but it also offers a wealth of power for the design of the most sophisticated applications. CX-Supervisor boasts powerful functions for a wide range of PC based HMI requirements. Simple applications can be created rapidly with the aid of a large number of predefined functions and libraries, and even very complex applications can be generated with a powerful programming language or VBScript™. CX-Supervisor has an extremely simple, intuitive handling and high user friendliness. Importing ActiveX® components makes it possible to create flexible applications and extend functionalityThe Data Log Viewer has been completely re-written...

The VSM AdvantageThe Proteus Design Suite is wholly unique in offering the ability to co-simulate both high and low-level micro-controller code in the context of a mixed-mode SPICE circuit simulation. With this Virtual System Modelling facility, you can transform your product design cycle, reaping huge rewards in terms of reduced time to market and lower costs of development. If one person designs both the hardware and the software then that person benefits as the hardware design may be changed just as easily as the software design. In larger organisations where the two roles are seperated, the software designers can begin work as soon as the schematic is completed; there is no need for them to wait until a physical prototype...

Monitoring the integrity of the project allows you to track changes in the parts of the project and synchronize them. Using the fee debugging NanoBoard possible to debug FPGA projects at the stage of creation of the concept.Altium Designer provides an opportunity to abandon the problems associated with outdated principles of design, combining modern software and hardware and building a qualitatively new design technology of electronic means (RECs) on the basis of printed circuit boards and programmable logic integrated circuits (FPGAs). This decision allows the project works through a consistent environment and test the system being designed at the stage of modeling – the prototype of the device appears long before its physical embodiment: streamlined, consistent and totally predictable.
