It’s no secret that placing passive devices in the proper location, whether it is nearer to the source/driver or the receiver/load pins, makes the difference between poor signal integrity and optimal signal integrity. Often this can be impacted by a breakdown in communications between circuit designers and PCB designers. Typically, the circuit designer has the [...]
Incorporating FPGAs into PCBs designs can be tricky and involves a constant dialog of communication between the FPGA designer and design and PCB/layout designer throughout the process – which can be tiresome, tedious and, worst of all, time-consuming. Introduction to FPGAs If we look inside the box of any electronic product around us, many would [...]
Last week I was over in the beautiful city of Dresden, Germany; involved in Zuken’s participation at the FED conference – arguably the most significant PCB event in Germany during the year. Apart from our annual conferences in Ulm and Hannover of course Masoud Raeisi and I were very busy manning our own Zuken booth, supporting [...]
I was recently out at DesignCon and did a couple of interviews with Andy Shaughnessy from PCB007. As we were discussing our CR-8000 solution in our first interview, the topic of network configurations and support for the cloud came up and I shared some of my thoughts with him.
It’s not often that you get rewarded for the things you do every day – I mean really rewarded. We’re all accustomed to “thanks”, “great job”, “well done”, and the metaphorical pat on the back, but this is something different. CR-8000 Design Force has been named a finalist in the software category in the EE [...]
Last week we concluded our annual Z-DAC User Conference in San Antonio Texas. While this event is always well-received and marvellously interactive between Zuken and our ever-growing family of customers, this year was truly special, as Zuken unveiled the first real paradigm shift in electronic design since those heady days of EDA yore: CR-8000 Design [...]
