CST MICROSTRIPES 2009.01 Win64 FUll Release now. CST MICROSTRIPES is a powerful 3D electromagnetic simulation tool, used extensively for solving challenging radiation problems including complex antenna structures, installed performance, EMC/EMI/E3 issues. CST MICROSTRIPES  is well-known for its compact modeling technology. In EMC/EMI applications, objects with relatively small dimensions, such as slots/seams, vents, multi-wires, shielded cables, have a big impact on the performance of the system. Compact modeling enables these critical features to be represented by equivalent transmission-line models; it is not necessary to use a fine mesh to capture the small dimensions. Unlike many modeling techniques, the compact models are fully integrated into the electromagnetic field solution. Compact modeling can reduce the computer requirements by several orders of magnitude.

This morning Synopsys publicly announced the long-rumored–and demonstrated in the private rooms at DAC–Orion project: a custom and cell-based analog-mixed-signal (AMS) design environment aimed at breaking the dominance of Cadence\’s Virtuoso platform. By targeting what they see as changes in the requirements placed on AMS designers since the architecting of Virtuoso–while replicating much of the look and feel of that market-leading platform–Synopsys apparently hopes to position Orion, now formally known as Custom Designer, as the next-generation mainstream AMS design environment. And these requirements changes have been profound. The most mundane, but the most disabling change in the AMS landscape has been simply the enormous growth in the size of designs. This has made capacity, and especially simulation capacity, a critical...

Foundry giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. said today that it was engaging intellectual property player Virage Logic Corp. to develop libraries in support of early users of TSMC\’s 65nm technology. The agreement provides chip designers with memory compilers for SoC designs, the foundry said. It announced plans for 65nm production earlier this year. At every new technology node, the amount of chip space taken by on-chip memory increases dramatically, Edward Wan, senior director of design service marketing for TSMC, said in a statement. At the 65nm node, on-chip memory may occupy more space than logic or any other IP and therefore it\’s important for our customers to get early access to advanced memory compilers. Virage Logic is both a provider...

Designers increasingly use advanced multi-clocking architectures to meet the high-performance and low-power requirements of their chips. The 0-In® CDC verification solution focuses on the interaction between these clock domains. In fact, it addresses a number of critical verification issues that simply cannot be dealt with by simulation-based verification techniques. An RTL or gate-level simulation of a design (that has multiple clock domains) does not accurately capture the timing related to the transfer of data between clock domains. As a consequence, simulation does not accurately predict silicon behavior, and critical bugs may escape the verification process. The 0-In CDC verification solution rectifies this problem. The 0-In CDC verification solution sets the industry benchmark by providing the three essential elements for a...
