Technical Product Spotlights Enhanced Version of CircuitSpace From DesignAdvance DesignAdvance® Systems, Inc.’s CircuitSpace® v2.2 is an enhanced version of the EDA solution that allows the user to have bidirectional communication between layout and a (PDF) schematic. This feature now gives designers and engineers instant selection and verification of design elements, such as components, nets, or pins, within Cadence Allegro and the (PDF) schematic. Featured capabilities are: • AutoClustering™; • Bidirectional cross-probing between layout and (PDF) schematic; • Intelligent physical design reuse and replication; • Concurrent layout development project wide; • Template generation for global library usage across divisions; • Template usage with and without etch; • Automated layout reference designator propagation; • Advanced sustaining engineering and ECO process; and • Automated change report between layout designs. Mentor Multimedia Solution for Nucleus OS and Inflexion Platform Mentor Graphics Corporation’s Inflexion PlatformTM Multimedia Feature Pack for Nucleus® OS is a new paradigm for manufacturers of mass market consumer electronic devices to bring advanced audio and video capabilities to their products. The Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack extends the capabilities of the Inflexion Platform UI and now enables rich audio and video content to be incorporated easily throughout a device’s interface without the need for programming or scripting. Other applications include previews for premium downloadable content (e.g., music videos); animated advertisements; live application icons; embedded context-sensitive audio/video help content; and full-screen streaming video playback.
