At this webinar, attendees will learn about DFMStream, the new product from DownStream Technologies that provides powerful DFM capabilities in an easy-to- use environment. DFMStream bridges the gap between engineering and fabrication, helps save valuable time and reduces bottlenecks.

The Webinar will demonstrate the Design Analyzer, the new Paste Mask analysis, new features available in Streams Rule Checking, and all the new checks we have developed and announced in Release 11.

DFMStream uses a “Stream” file to queue a series of DFM analysis checks and can combine netlist or layer comparison, design rule verification, fabrication and assembly…

IEEE to Adopt the HDBaseT Standard

Wednesday, January 07, 2015 | BUSINESS WIRE

The HDBaseT Alliance, the cross-industry group tasked with promoting and advancing HDBaseT standard, and IEEE, the world’s largest professional organization advancing technology for humanity, today announced the HDBaseT Specifications 1.1.0 and 2.0 have been approved by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board for adoption as part of the organization’s standard portfolio.

HDBaseT is a successful technology for long-distance ultra-high definition distribution of digital media today, with hundreds of HDBaseT-certified products currently commercialized. It will complement IEEE-SA’s portfolio of market-proven communications and technology standards. The HDBaseT standard…

Webcast - PCB Materials, Simulations, and Measurements for 32 Gb/s

Jan 05, 2015

Electronic Design and Microwaves&RF are providing a webcast discussing PCB materials, simulations, and measurements for 32 Gb/s.

Why this Webcast is Important:

Breaking the 32 Gb/s barrier for printed circuit board (PCB) channels requires a strong understanding of PCB stack-up design, simulation methods, and measurement techniques. How a PCB fabrication document calls out the materials, such as fiber weave and surface roughness, is critical to high speed performance. Accuracies of channel performance time and frequency domain simulations at the higher data rates require knowledge of as-fabricated material properties and tolerances. Design and measurement of test structures to validate the PCB stack-up performance require custom…

EDA Industry's Revenue Up 6.3% in Q2

Dec 29, 2014

The EDA Consortium (EDAC) Market Statistics Service (MSS) announced that the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry revenue increased 6.3% for Q2 2014 to $1757.9 million, compared to $1653.4 million in Q2 2013.

Sequential EDA revenue for Q2 2014 increased 0.7% compared to Q1 2014, while the four-quarters moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four quarters, increased by 5.8%.

“Double-digit increases in PCB/MCM and Semiconductor IP led the way to an overall increase in industry revenue for Q2,” said Walden C. Rhines, board sponsor for the EDAC MSS and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. “Geographically, all regions except Japan had solid revenue increases.”

The State of Autorouting in PCB Layout

Jul 12, 2013

PCB layout begins with a schematic. The schematic can be a simple paper drawing on simple boards or captured in a CAD program for more complex boards. The connections on the PCB should be identical to the schematic, but while the schematic is arranged to be readable, the PCB layout is arranged to be functional. As a result, there is rarely any visible correlation between the schematic and the layout.

PCB layout can be performed manually (using a CAD tool such as Altium Designer, PADs, or Allegro), or in combination with an Autorouter. The best results are usually achieved using or manual routing because the design engineer can exercise better judgment of how to arrange circuitry than an autorouter program is able to.…

Designer Dilemmas with New Software Tools

Jul 12, 2013

The Dilemma

PCB Layout CAD software programs are undergoing dramatic and significant changes as companies release new versions at an increasingly rapid rate. These new versions not only fix bugs, but they add additional features and versatility. Altium Designer is arguably the fastest up and coming CAD tool on the market. This product was designed to unify the entire design process. Altium offers:

A single solution to develop hardware, programmable hardware and software Take designs from concept to manufacture within a single unified environment A single model of the design data, and a single design data storage system

As more and more companies are purchasing and using Altium Designer for their PCB designs, the demand for skilled Altium designers…

Testimonials

"We have been using 911EDA's PCB layout services since 2010 and could not be happier. They have proven time and time again that their work is of the highest caliber and our boards consistently work properly on the first iteration. They always respond to emails very quickly and are easy to work with. I definitely recommend 911EDA".

- Keith Riffee
"911EDA has been providing all of our PCB layout services over the past two years. The quality of their design work is of the highest caliber and they are very easy to work with. Utilizing their services allows us to keep our projects moving forward and stay on schedule. I highly recommend 911EDA for PCB layout services because of their responsiveness, how easy they make the process, and the quality of their work".

- Dan Rhodes
"I have used 911EDA's PCB layout services at several companies I have worked at. I have continued to introduce them as I've moved about because they're services are so good. Their communication skills are strong and they have always given me the board I want. I recommend 911EDA".

- Edgar Khachatryan
"911EDA has provided us with both PCB layout services and front end engineering work, both of which have been great. We have worked with them on schematic designs, simulations, documentation, FPGA design, and PCB layout and have found their services to be top notch. I strongly recommend 911EDA for these types of services".

- Reginald Little
"I began using 911EDA for my PCB layouts in 2018. I am very picky about my designs and the team at 911EDA have met every expectation. I would highly recommend this company."
