SANTA CLARA– Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced SystemVue 2008, an electronic design automation (EDA) platform for electronic system-level (ESL) design. The platform is reported to reduce physical layer (PHY) design time by half for high-performance communications algorithms and system architectures for not only wireless, but also aerospace/defense applications. SystemVue offers an easy-to-use environment with links to hardware implementation and tests, as well as complements existing EDA tools used in FPGAs, DSPs and ASICs and Analog/RF components.

MULINO, OR– Sunstone Circuits has introduced the Intermediate Data Format (IDF) Plug-In, the first plug-in module for PCB123. This free, downloadable import/export plug-in gives PCB designers the ability to import PCB designs for mechanical and electrical CAD systems in a bi-directional, neutral format within the Sunstone ECOsystem Design Environment. Outline definitions of PCBs based on mechanical CAD tool specifications can be imported, synchronizing the design and development work. The plug-in allows new tools to be integrated into existing software, as well as improving the design to manufacture process.

THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA– Altium and Digi-Key Corporation have entered into a global distribution agreement. As part of the agreement, Digi-Key will distribute Altium’s Desktop NanoBoard, which includes a 12-month timed Altium Designer License. Marketed as the Innovation Station, the combination provides quick prototyping, concept exploration and device experimentation. Designers are able to use the “live design” to create functionality in programmable hardware and switch to physical hardware in order to test and analyze–without having to create custom prototype boards. Digi-Key will also carry the extended range of NanoBoard plug-in peripheral and FPGA daughter boards.
