Byte Paradigm sets a new standard for entry-level USB-controlled Digital Pattern Generators

From September 1^st 2011, Wave Generator Xpress will be delivered with a large 8 MB internal memory buffer and will support digital pattern generation up to 100 MHz.

With this upgrade, digital electronics engineers now have 500 times more memory for storing digital vectors and 2 times the speed of the previous model for pattern generation. List price remains unchanged at 450 EUR / 699 USD.

Wave Generator Xpress allows cycle-accurate 1 to 16 bit-wide digital pattern generation. It supports 1.5V to 3.3V LVCMOS I/O standards. This USB 2.0 device is controlled from PC with 8PI Control Panel software, which includes graphical user interface, TCL/tk scripting environment and a free C/C++ API, allowing more complex and automated testing.

Every digital electronics engineer should have a digital pattern generator’Frederic Leens, Sales & Marketing Manager at Byte Paradigm says. ‘Scopes and logic analyzers are really common on the engineer’s desk today. As a source of stimulus for ASIC, SoC, FPGA and other digital embedded systems, WG Xpress is their natural companion. At a price tag below 700 USD, Wave Generator Xpress is a valuable and cost-effective asset for all companies involved in embedded system design. Now this price means deep and fast digital pattern runs’.

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.
