New Data Processing Board Offered By VadaTech Features High Performance and Low Latency

Henderson, NV – May 13, 2014 – VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, now offers a new data processor that meets the MicroTCA.4 specification with a rear I/O interface.  The board is ideal for several High Energy Physics applications such as cavity field stabilization and standing-wave linear accelerators, as well as other systems requiring high speeds DSPs and low latency. 

The CM045 data processing AMC comes in the double module, mid-size format.  It features a high-performance Kintex-7 FPGA with x4 PCI Gen 3 signaling across the fat pipes.  The module provides processing power, data memory, communication links, and reference clock signals.  The CM045 also has 16 GB of DDR3 memory, 8 SFP+ ports via the front panel, and routes 4 low latency signals to the RTM.  Another advantage of the CM045 is it provides a convenient upgrade path with in-system firmware updating using IPMI and a fast serial link.  

VadaTech offers the full MicroTCA.4 ecosystem, including chassis, power modules, MCHs, RTMs, and a wide range of AMCs.  The company’s AMCs for MicroTCA.4 include processors, FPGAs, A/D and D/A converters, data processors, down-converters, and more.

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.
