DesignCon 2017 takes place from Jan 31 to Feb 2 at the Santa Clara Convention Center with its usual focus on PCB design and implementation.

Mentor Graphics has added four new units to its PADS PCB family addressing increasing complexity in mainstream design.

The latest release of Cadence's Allegro deals with flex PCBs, material inlays as well as tighter links to signal integrity.

HyperLynx from Mentor Graphics has moved into a new generation with more integrated features beyond PI and SI, and an easier to use GUI.

HyperLynx leads the way for vendor at DesignCon with booth demos and a day-long modeling and analysis seminar.

Cadence has launched the 16.6 release of its Allegro PCB-design portfolio, adding modules for manufacturing documentation and design-rule preparation aids.
