BEEcube Will Be Exhibiting at the DesignCon 2012

FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — BEEcube will be exhibiting at the DesignCon 2012 Monday, January 30 through Thursday, February 2nd at booth #746 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. 

BEEcube will be showing off its recently announced BEE4-W, a stackable full speed multi-FPGA based prototyping platform, integrated with ADC/DAC modules for mixed signal and digital communication designs for both commercial and defense oriented needs, including communication testing needs.                                

BEEcube will be highlighting the miniBEE, the newest generation BEE, which is similar to BEE4 customer usage but made smaller. miniBEE consists of a single Virtex-6 FPGA, LX240 to SX475, with up to 32GB of memory, two FMC slots, and a high end Sandy Bridge Intel Processor. miniBEE offers application flexibility and customization as well as significant throughput capacity in a smaller footprint. miniBEE makes an excellent lab addition to any testing environment.

BEEcube will be highlighting an arbitrary waveform generator demonstration.  This system implements a complete arbitrary waveform generator with up to 16 billion samples memory capacity.  The BEE4 system also allows the user to create any signal form imaginable or preconfigured from Matlab. Signal interface is done directly through one of four BEE4’s “combined DAC/ADC” FMC expansion boards.

Another demonstration is a video processor reference design that features live high definition video streaming manipulation.  Real time manipulation is done all through software using BEEcube’s Nectar OS, allowing users to modify filters, FPGA registers, and coefficients interactively.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
