RS Components is now offering a solid-modelling tool to work with its free PCB design tool to provide easier access to 3D mechanical design.

Taking place in Chelmsford, MA on 27 August, the conference will feature user-authored papers, tutorials, a designer expo and keynotes from Cadence and IBM.

Xilinx aims to be first of the FPGA makers to produce 20nm devices, expecting to move to production samples for some products by the end of the year.

Design security is a major target for Microsemi’s update to its Igloo series of flash memory-based FPGAs, which add an ARM-oriented memory subsystem.

Atmel has launched its first family of microcontrollers based on ARM's Cortex M0+ with features to ease PCB design and provide programmable serial ports.

Altera has disclosed a number of the features that will make it into the top end of its upcoming 'Generation 10' family of FPGAs.

Xilinx and TSMC are forming a single engineering team to accelerate development of a family of finFET-based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Wire harness margins are tight yet quotes still need to be turned on a dime. Integrating that process into existing tools aims to help.

Altera has bought fabless power-management specialist Enpirion in an expansion intended to support its core business of FPGAs.

CDNLive EMEA opens 6 May, providing delegates with an opportunity to find out what their peers are doing with Cadence Design Systems’ tools in real projects.
