Design Automation

Smart mobile phone EMI/EMC/PI/SI design solution
Ansoft Corp Taiwan Branch

Ansoft provides the total EMI/EMC/PI/SI design solution for smart mobile phones and PDA application. In PCB pre-layout phases, Ansoft software help designer(s) to achieve the impedance control, matching circuit and full system channel performance goals. Designers can provide the design guide for PCB layout based on Ansoft accurate simulated data so that the potential problems of EMI/PI/SI can be reduced and the opportunity of first pass system success can be increased in prototyping phase.

Due to the market demand, the intelligent portable devices must integrate numerous functions together. There are both digital and RF circuit inside the tiny room. However, when RF antenna operates in maximum power; the radiated fields will interfere with the high speed clock and data bus. Or when the device is close to a metal shield, the EMI problem will be induced potentially to cause the device malfunction occasionally.

In this presentation, the true 3D electromagnetic field solvers (HFSS) together with circuit simulator (Ansoft Designer/Nexxim) will be used to co-design EMI issues of the intelligent portable devices. A whole handset 3D solid model and the metal shield will be analyzed and parameterized by HFSS. The interference near field will be computed and visualized to do what-if analysis of the noise reduction.
Aside from the used Ansoft unique EM/Circuit co-simulation across time/frequency domains, the interference phenomena between RF and digital circuit have been able to investigate in detail; the time domain waveform simulated by SPICE transient; the SNR simulated by harmonic balance in the same simulator. About the power delivery network design of PCB, the designers can use the same co-simulation environment to achieve the adaptive target impedance and control the unintended power induced EMI noise source to help achieve the overall PI/SI/EMI design goal.

Bus and Protocol Analyzer: Effective tools to shorten your R&D processes
Eagletek Corp

Debugging is a necessary part of any research and development effort, and good testing tools can shorten lead time by detecting and solving your problems faster. The increasing diversity of applications and bandwidth requirements by embedded systems makes their BUS no different from that of computers. This seminar introduces the MCC I2C/SMBus/SBS and Finisar SD/SDIO, PCI Express, PCI, USB, ATA and Logic Bus Analyzers as efficient solutions for the testing market. Actual field test case studies will also be presented.

Memory Design

Not your typical Flash ¨C Spansion brings value, innovation, & performance to embedded applications
Spansion Inc

Today's embedded market encompasses a diverse range of products in the consumer, automotive, PC & PC peripherals, networking, telecommunications, industrial, and other markets. Equipment designers try to differentiate their products and look for innovative ways to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace in order to increase their customer's user experience in this digital age. Flash memory can do this differentiation as it becomes an integral part of the design, providing a wide range of features and capabilities that enhance the end products.

In this session, Spansion will provide a detailed overview of the market trends of Flash memory, including innovations in areas like architecture, functionality, density, and performance.

It will discuss how products based on Spansion's MirrorBit® Flash memory technology can help companies simplify their designs, add greater value & innovation, reduce their time-to-market, achieve overall cost savings, while enabling a more mobile, digital, media-rich society.

This presentation will discuss products like MirrorBit® NOR, MirrorBit® SPI, MirrorBit® ORNAND, and future architectural trends like MirrorBit® Eclipse™.

Test & Measurement

Direct synthesis for high speed data bus
Tektronix Inc

Since testing requirements are replicating real world transmission path effects, it only makes sense to create signals that have these effects as part of the test signal. This would eliminate the need to inject jitter and noise from other sources. It also removes the requirement for multi-channel added signals to create pre-emphasis as well as increase the capability of providing true transmission path artifacts, such as ISI and other system anomalies.

Graphical system design for embedded system development
National Instruments

The pressures of time to market and fast product development have engineers increasingly face the challenges of embedded system and prototype development and design. With National Instruments' LabVIEW scientists and engineers can deliver applications that run predictably in time, deliver increased reliability, and offer stand-alone operations. By combining LabVIEW graphical programming with the deterministic performance of dedicated real-time and FPGA targets from National Instruments you can:

• Iterate on algorithms with real-world stimulus to accelerate design
• Quickly prototype your system with off the shelf embedded targets
• Deploy your final application to real-time, FPGA and 32-bit microprocessor targets

RF & Network Design

eZigBee turnkey solutions: The fundamental building blocks for ZigBee applications
CeraMicro Technology Corp

Nowadays, the ZigBee module is widely used in various applications-from home automation to industrial, agriculture and medical.However,the"Domain Know-How"system solution providers not only need to deal with RF and software issues,but also the system applications as a whole. Cost is another issue that system developers have to bear in mind. CeraMicro's eZigBee (ZigBee SiP) module, with its build-in firmware and software,is the ideal answer for system solution providers. "Domain Know-How"solution providers need not deal with RF problems,size constraints and software issues anymore. They can use this cost effective eZigBee turnkey solution as the building blocks to speed up the development of WSN systems and meet time-to-market challenge.
