Design

Aldec, known for its mixed-language simulation and advanced design tools for ASIC and FPGA devices, has announced the release of Server Farm Manager (SFM). The new product dramatically increases network based design verification by automating the set-up, execution and analysis of simulation results from hundreds of computers running thousands of test cases and providing automated pass/fail results and reporting.

Knowles' new HiFi FK system is capable of delivering over 110dB drive, which is >15dB more output than at higher frequencies than single balanced armature receivers can deliver, in a package 33% smaller than existing ED receiver series.

Computer Solutions has been appointed as UK distributor of the Embest range of ARM Development tools. These include UNetICE, a low-cost, high-speed JTAG emulator for ARM processors, Debugging and Flash programming software to support it and a wide range of ARM Evaluation Boards.

The MGW 200 from Garland Partners, is the latest addition to Optibase's family of IP streaming gateways. The MGW200 is a compact, single-channel encoding, decoding and streaming platform that is ideal for IP streaming applications such as video contribution, corporate communications and video server upload.

Telelogic will be an early committer to the CFramework (EPF) and will bring an extensive library of best practices accumulated over the last 20 years in areas such as Requirements-Driven Development, Model Driven Architecture, Enterprise Change Management, and Systems and Software Development.

SystemCrafter has announced its participation in the Xilinx ESL Initiative. This collaboration will help SystemCrafter to drive integration and adoption of SystemC to VHDL software as part of the ESL methodology for FPGAs, and enable the company to more rapidly develop enhanced versions in the future.

picoChip has announced a reference design for an ultra-low cost 3G/HSDPA basestation for use in a home or small office as an alternative to WiFi and UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). The PC8208 modem reference design for a 3G access point or “femtocell” basestation supports HSDPA with a software upgrade to HSUPA.

Designed to provide a fully customised embedded solution with minimal engineering and adaptation costs, the new GX2 ETX module from DSL is a complete processor core which will enable a custom product to be developed and brought to market quickly and easily.

Providing multiple connections including a 16-bit x-ISA bus with interfaces for COM, PRN, IDE and GPIO, the new Mity-SoC Module from ICOP Technology (UK) makes application design even easier with the integration of a DM&P 6117D CPU, 2/4MB of onboard DRAM, BIOS and the multi I/O.
