ROCHESTER, NYEMA Design Automation has acquired the Chronology Division of Forte Design Systems, which includes the TimingDesigner product line from Forte Design Systems.

TimingDesigner is an interactive timing analysis tool that reportedly delivers fast and accurate results for timing critical designs. It is said to be ideal for high-speed, multi-frequency designs where it is essential to accurately model and analyze signal relationships between devices on a board or between embedded functions on an ASIC or programmable IC. TimingDesigner can evaluate comprehensive sets of timing alternatives and provide direction to the most complex of timing challenges, enabling designers to manage and monitor timing margins through the design process.

“This acquisition is in line with our goal to provide complete and comprehensive EDA solutions to Cadence customers,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA Design Automation. “By owning the technology, we now have better control over its future direction and integration with our core product offerings.”

The most recent release of TimingDesigner provides enhanced interfaces for board-level designers using Cadence OrCAD Capture and Cadence Allegro PCB design tools. Users can import EDIF files from OrCAD Capture to automate the creation of design components and ports for new projects within TimingDesigner, resulting in substantial timesavings.

“In addition to acquiring the technology, we hired the key product development team,” said Marcano. “Their knowledge combined with EMA’s broad experience in the EDA industry enables us to be a dominant provider of static timing analysis tools and create robust releases of TimingDesigner in the future.”

Sensor Products Introduces Tactilus Heat-Sink Analysis System
Tactilus heat-sink analysis system enables test and correction of surface contact and pressure distribution between the heat sink and its source. Can visualize actual contact forces and pressure distribution data on the components. As mounting screws between the CPU and the heat sink are torqued, it maps and measures the changing pressure distribution between the mating surfaces and displays it. Can be tested, manipulated, and repositioned in real-time. Provides pressure data needed for FEA simulation predictions. Is 0.015" thick; can be placed between the CPU and heat sink without affecting...

EMS’ Rude Awakening
Can high-mix, low-volume production succeed in China? You bet. In the 1970s, if you set up a contract manufacturing shop in a good location, customers eventually would walk through the doors. In the real world, things quickly changed for American companies, as OEMs, driven by maximizing shareholder value, searched for cheaper sources offshore. The first options were Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. After prices increased in these countries, greener pastures were found in China....
