Designing for the Long Haul
Considering EDA Tool Longevity
There is a story in the American South about two “country boys” who walk into a lumber yard and ask to buy some wood. The lumber yard attendant asks what size they want. They look confused. He gives them some choices “two-by-fours, two-by-sixes, four-by-fours...”
They step aside for a minute to confer with each other. “We’ll take two-by-fours.”
The lumber yard attendant takes them to the aisle with the two-by-fours. “How long do you need them?” Read More

What Comes Around… Is Reflected?
A couple years ago at DesignCon, Intel proposed a new way of testing the insertion loss of differential traces on a PC board. A couple years later, it’s being incorporated into test equipment. (6-Feb)
Closing the Thermal Loop
Mentor does something with thermal that electrical folks had to do a while ago. (12-Dec)
BoardView Becomes SystemNav
A couple years ago, Magma released a tool that helped trace signals and issues as they crossed between the chip and board domains. They’ve now come back with a grander version of that tool. (29-Nov)
Another PCB Tool Refresh
Is there something in the water? Intercept does a full refresh of its user interface for Pantheon. (7-Nov)
