ASIC Design Services will use this year’s show as the platform for the South African introduction of the Elnec brand. Elnec is a leading European provider of solutions for programming NAND Flash memories, microcontrollers and other programmable devices in any package, whether programmed in a socket or in-system.
While attending electronica 2014 last November, CEO of ASIC Design Services, Tony Dal Maso (middle), signed a distribution agreement with Elnec, represented by sales and marketing director Vladimir Doval (left). Also in attendance was ASIC’s field applications engineer, Francois Labuschagne (right).
Also on display will be the latest innovations from the well established FPGA vendor Microsemi. These include the cost-optimised IGLOO2 family with a Flash-based fabric and high-performance communications interfaces, as well as a focus on Secure Boot technology implemented on IGLOO2 and SmartFusion2 SoCs.
Mentor Graphics’ brand new PADS Professional placement and routing technology provides everything PCB designers need, from simple tasks such as defining board areas, to complex procedures that involve maintaining high-speed signal conditions. The software’s innovative Sketch Router technology combines automatic routing power with user control during interactive editing operations, producing high-quality results with exceptional performance.
Also featured from the Mentor stable will be FloTHERM XT software for thermal design from concept to verification, with a consistent data model throughout and the seamless ability to import data from other mechanical design automation (MDA) or EDA sources as required in a particular design process.
Finally, XJTAG’s hardware and software solutions will be displayed, covering the requirements for efficient JTAG implementation and analysis from design through testing.
