Zuken Releases eCADSTAR 2020, Available with New Modules for SI, PI and IBIS-AMI Simulation

0

BRISTOL, UK and WESTFORD, MA, USA, Aug 21, 2020 – Zuken announces the availability of eCADSTAR release 2020. With the new release, available configurations of Zuken’s new internet connected PCB design platform, eCADSTAR, have been extended to include new modules for signal integrity, power integrity and IBIS-AMI simulation.

The new modules eCADSTAR Signal Integrity, eCADSTAR Signal Integrity Advanced, eCADSTAR Power Integrity and eCADSTAR IBIS-AMI complement eCADSTAR’s connected PCB design capabilities with powerful analysis tools, such as embedded signal integrity simulation in eCADSTAR Schematic and PCB Editors for pre- and post-layout simulation.

 

Analysis-Result-Viewer-Analysis Result Viewer – New modules for Signal Integrity, Power Integrity and IBIS-AMI modules extend eCADSTAR’s connected design capabilities with powerful analysis capabilities

 

All analysis tools are tightly integrated with eCADSTAR’s comprehensive PCB constraint management and optimization functionality. Results are displayed in a common Analysis Result Viewer within the eCADSTAR design environment. Heatmaps can also be displayed directly within the eCADSTAR PCB editor from the Power Integrity application.

“As products become more complex and faster, analysis becomes a key part of the design process to ensure correct operation. High-speed components and interfaces are at the heart of today’s smart and internet-connected products, and they demand advanced pre- and post-layout analysis for correct operability”, says Markus Bücker, Development Manager, Zuken EMC Technology Center, Paderborn. “eCADSTAR delivers those capabilities in an easy to use embedded environment so that both engineers and PCB designers can deliver exceptional high-speed design quality first time right based on Zuken’s proven technology.”

Signal Integrity  

With eCADSTAR Signal Integrity, engineers can plan and check signal integrity throughout the Schematic and PCB layout process. eCADSTAR Signal Integrity Advanced comprises TDR analysis as well as S-Parameter analysis. Simulations can be initiated from eCADSTAR’s Constraint Browser, Electrical Editor, or directly from the eCADSTAR PCB Editor.

The simulation Results Viewer is available throughout the eCADSTAR design flow with a consistent user interface. Signal integrity simulation not only makes sure that high-speed signals arrive in good shape: A board with good signal integrity is more resistant to external noise and less likely to consume excess power.

Power Integrity and EMI  

Using the eCADSTAR Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) analysis capabilities, engineers can identify the most significant EMI contributors on the board, including differential-mode EMI, common-mode EMI, and power bus noise. If these parameters are optimized during board layout, the electric interference of a design can be kept as low as possible.

With eCADSTAR’s Power Integrity tools, engineers can check AC behavior of the Power Delivery Network (PDN) and ensure DC continuity from power sources to component power inputs and then back where it came from. DC analysis results include current- and voltage distributions across the supply system, pin-to-pin resistance analysis, IR-drop analysis for all supply pins, and identifies current stressed Vias within the supply path.

IBIS-AMI  

AMI analysis goes beyond traditional waveform simulation. AMI simulation is most valuable when transceivers include features that cannot be modelled by analog electrical descriptions alone. A traditional IBIS model is an electrical description of buffer driving and receiving characteristics, not including any DSP behavior like that present in PCI Express Gen3 onwards or DDR5. AMI models include this behavior, so engineers can adjust parameters to optimize I/O channels for maximum performance. As with other kinds of simulation, AMI models become even more valuable when you push density and speed envelopes and ultra-high speed Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) circuits are closely packed with other parts of your designs. The analysis results will be displayed as an eye diagram and a bathtub curve to check BER (Bit Error Rate) compliance.

Configurations and pricing 

With modular bundles and optional modules, eCADSTAR can be configured to fit individual needs. eCADSTAR promotional pricing starts at under 2000 GBP / 2200 EUR / 2500 USD. Initially eCADSTAR SI, PI, and IBIS-AMI options will be available at a discount of up to 50%.

About eCADSTAR

eCADSTAR provides a fully managed 2D/3D design process in a modern environment with a common user interface and centralized library that exists at the heart of schematic and PCB editors. Design constraints and variants can be defined in the schematic and propagated throughout the PCB layout and routing process. eCADSTAR helps ensure that PCB designers achieve top-class high-speed design the first time.

CIMdata to Host Free Webinar on ‘Bridging Information Silos to Improve Product Decision’

0

ANN ARBOR, MI, USA, Aug 21, 2020 – CIMdata, Inc., the leading global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Bridging Information Silos to Improve Product Decisions.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 10 September 2020, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour.

Contextual views combining relevant data from different information silos improve decision making within a company. Finding the data when it is outside your immediate responsibilities can be challenging. Making sure the data is from a stable configuration is also challenging; was it from an early release or a pilot or somewhere in between?

Process orchestration and shared configurations are critical elements for improving product development. This webinar will consider the state of the digital engineering practice regarding sharing configurations and how process orchestration across an organization may be accomplished. With the continued advancement of computers and applications, the webinar will conclude with some ideas and projections about what to expect next.

This webinar will help attendees:

  1. Better understand digital technologies that can speed and improve decisions.
  2. Learn about the role of Process Orchestration—standard work, the basis for improvement, and compliance.
  3. Gain an understanding of the evolution of Product Lifecycle Management, emphasizing incremental improvements.

According to Craig Brown, a CIMdata executive consultant, and the host for this webinar, “Frequency mismatches from different parts of an organization makes decision management more challenging. Applications tuned for capital investment, mechanical prototype build shops, and software only features have difficulty exchanging information. This leads to distinct, often separated, silos of data.”

Over his 30-year journey at GM, Mr. Brown was responsible for PLM Portfolio Planning and held assignments in embedded software, systems engineering, CAE Methods, and process improvement. He led engineering, and IT teams developing tools to improve product and manufacturing engineering. These teams received patents, engineering awards, and records of invention, including using OnStar® to monitor and report vehicle diagnostics. Before joining GM, he spent 12 years in the Aerospace/Defense industry focused on control systems and tools to help develop systems for guidance, navigation and control, and signal processing systems. He was a member of the team that invented VHDL and led one of the first commercial tool applications. Mr. Brown has a talent for organizing across industry sectors to distill common requirements, which can help streamline tools and standards development.

This webinar will be useful to executives, directors, and managers responsible for product development, manufacturing, quality, and service; PLM team leaders and team members; product managers; IT leadership and staff; solution providers; and anyone who wants to learn about how to manage PLM when a disruption happens.

During the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
