Speedflex flex-rigid PCB design option is now available for Speedstack PCB layer stackup design tool. Creates and documents PCB stackups, combining rigid and flex-rigid PCBs. Provides a fast process said to build stacks in minutes, document drills, display stacks as 2-D or 3-D image, and add controlled impedance. Does not limit the number of layers that can be added, or the number of cross-sections that can be created and compared, including coverlays, adhesives, and no-flow prepreg layers. Can be exported in industry standard file formats.

A prototyping peripheral add-on board for NanoBoard FPGA-based development boards works with the fixed-FPGA NanoBoard 3000 and NanoBoard NB2. Comes in packs of three or 20. Reportedly eliminates need to create custom PCBs for circuit prototyping. A single on-board connector plugs into the NanoBoard to give direct access to the I/O on the host NanoBoard FPGA and common NanoBoard resources, including power and JTAG lines. Can integrate custom circuitry with standard NanoBoard peripherals and services, using the land patterns and plated hole connections on the prototyping boards to construct custom hardware. Supports a variety of surface mount packages in varying pitches, as well as through-hole components on 0.1" or 0.05" grids. Predefined land patterns for SMD accommodate pitches of 0.5, 0.65, 0.8 and 1.27 mm; each SMD pad is connected to a 0.5 mm hole. Board identification is achieved using a 1-wire compatible unique ID device.
