Zuken Gives Free License of CR-5000 Lightning to University of Missouri Rolla
Written by Tracy Heffner
Tuesday, 10 April 2007
MUNICH, Germany and WESTFORD, MA– Zuken is offering free use of CR-5000 Lightning Scenario to students enrolled in the Signal Integrity for High-Speed Digital Design course at the University of Missouri Rolla. The signal integrity design and analysis tool provides a ‘what-if’ scratchpad, allowing designers to create SI related scenarios that can be simulated to test their design strategies. It can be used to create purely experimental circuits or extract equivalent circuits from the schematic or physical layout.
“Today, tools are very fragmented. We really need to be able to do all the work in one place. Otherwise I spend all my time exporting, importing and re-developing my problem or pieces of it, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and inefficient,” Professor James Drewniak said. “The paradigm for CR-5000 is integration, so that an engineer can summon all of these resources from the enterprise tool (CR-5000), and then be able to readily integrate the results into the design simulation.”
The course on Signal Integrity at the University of Missouri Rolla is the first of its kind offered by the institution and is aimed at senior undergraduates and early graduate students. It is also available as a distance education course for practicing engineers, with tutorials presented over the web.

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping. It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides. It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings. www.arieselec.com
