New PCIe Gen3 Carrier in AMC Format from VadaTech

Henderson, NV – Jan 20, 2015 – VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, now offers a PCIe Gen3 carrier board that allows high-performance commercial video or other boards to be utilized in a MicroTCA system.  

The AMC104 provides the versatility of using high-end commercial graphics cards, which typically have short shelf lives, as removable mezzanines.  By providing a carrier, users can upgrade their PCIe GPGPU or other video board as needed to serve their needs.   The AMC module comes in a double module, full size.  It routes PCIe Gen3 to the backplane as x4 or x8.    Other features of the AMC104 include a temperature sensor, DIP switches for IPMI functionality, and a management RS-232 port. 

VadaTech provides the full ecosystem of MicroTCA products, including AMCs, chassis platforms, MCHs, and power modules.  The company also offers carriers and specialty products in AdvancedTCA, VPX, CompactPCI, 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.
