COSATEQ presents new desk Hardware-in-the-Loop solution

The new affordable modular desk HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) solution CompactHiL based on the ME-Neuron is available now.

MEILHAUS Electronic GmbH, located in Munich developed in cooperation with COSATEQ GmbH & Co. KG from Wangen an affordable modular desk Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) simulator solution. This system is a combination of the full CompactPCI based DAQ PC system – ME-Neuron and the real-time simulation environment SCALE-RT.

ME-Neuron and SCALE-RT combined offer a complete stand-alone “CompactHiL” system optimized for data acquisition, control, and real-time operations. The system includes perfectly matching components – starting with the CPU, main board, I/O cPCI cards, and control boards to connectivity accessories. The scalable Linux based real-time simulation software SCALE-RT is an open system and includes hard real-time capabilities for HiL simulations. The application area varies from design, test and validation of embedded systems to the early start up of machines and systems. In addition this innovative solution offers software tools for data acquisition, control and visualization. Customers can choose from a broad variety of data acquisition cards, signal conditioning and hardware to be integrated in their desk HiL-Simulator.

Hardware-in-the-Loop simulators significantly reduce time to market by testing control systems while in the development phase. Especially the low investment for this desk HiL-Simulator offers an affordable step towards virtual product development for small companies.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
