VIVA management software; but if required the Compact
Line systems may be controlled also by alternative software
packages such as Labview™, LabWindows™/CVI and TestStand™
by National Instruments.
SEICA's VIVA software platform also includes a fast,
streamlined process to automatically generate and debug a
complete test program starting from the board CAD data, enabling
the immediate test of the prototype board to detect any
manufacturing errors. Functional tests can be created easily,
on the fly, with the powerful QuickTest software, with only the
knowledge of the circuit to be tested (and not necessarily the
tester or programming language).

Off-The-Shelf, Ultra-Low Power Memory
IP Helps Fast-Track Power Critical Designs
To speed up design times for users, sureCore has launched a
range of off-the-shelf, ultra-low power memory IP that is available
for use at the most popular industry nodes.
Wearables and hearables typically require a long battery
life and an " always-on " listening mode. An ideal solution to
this challenge is sureCore's EverOn™ single port SRAM that
has an ultra-wide operating voltage range from 0.6 V to process-nominal
voltage. This has been adopted by both smart
watch and " True Wireless Stereo " (TWS) earbud developers.
Standard memory designs can only work down to processnominal
voltage however EverOn's unique banking structure
allows architects to implement fine-grained, even lower voltage,
sleep modes for up to 50% power savings compared to
standard memory cells. Thus, the voltage of the chip can be
dynamically adjusted up and down in tandem with the performance
requirements for the operation in hand to save power
as required. For example, this could be going from a high performance
to a low performance mode or even a monitoring
state awaiting a wake-up event. Front end views are available
in sureCore's web-based compiler to help facilitate customer
evaluation. Versions for 40ULP, 28HPC+, 22ULL are available
with memory instances up to 0.5 MB supported.
Another important group of applications which include
Edge-AI, Machine Learning and also hearing aids that need to
maximize battery life by minimizing both operating and standby
power consumption. These are ideally served by sureCore's
PowerMiser™ ultra-low dynamic power, single port SRAM
that delivers up to 50% dynamic power savings compared to
market leaders in addition to an average 20% saving on leakage
power. Its patented " Bit Line Voltage Control " techniques
have the added benefit of virtually eliminating performance
compromises even with a much reduced power envelope. Retentive
sleep modes, including light sleep for rapid wake-up
as well as deep-sleep for maximal leakage current savings, are
available. Various periphery Vt options are possible to optimize
for either leakage or speed as demanded by application

need. Front end views are available in sureCore's web-based
compiler to help facilitate customer evaluation.

High-Speed Ethernet Testing Platform
Viavi Solutions
Inc.
offers new
Ethernet
testing solutions.
Ethernet
is
driving bandwidth and scale at an ever-accelerating rate.
Ethernet technology is also picking up key aspects of classic
DWDM (dense wavelength-division multiplexing) in
areas like Data Center Interconnection (DCI) and ultra-long
range such as ZR. This drives a new level of test requirements
addressing scale and bandwidth of Ethernet coupled with service
provisioning and DWDM capability. Network architects
and developers, more than ever, need sophisticated instrumentation
to test at higher speed Ethernet services for greater
flexibility and performance.
VIAVI expands its presence in the Ethernet testing space
with a new High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) Platform, a multiport
solution that complements the physical layer testing capabilities
of the VIAVI ONT-800 Platform. The HSE provides IC,
module, and network systems companies with high-speed
devices for testing up to 128x800 G. It offers physical layer
test features with advanced traffic generation and analysis to
troubleshoot and test the functionality and performance of
integrated circuits and pluggable interfaces along with switching
and routing devices and networks.
VIAVI has also provides the capability of its ONT 800G
FLEX XPM Module, supporting testing needs of hyperscalers,
data centers and related applications. In addition to supporting
the 800G ETC implementation, it also offers extensive
Forward Error Correction (FEC) stress and validation tools
critical to ASIC, FPGA, and IP implementations. The VIAVI
ONT 800G XPM also offers tools to validate potential draft
IEEE 802.3df proposals.

20 mA Velocity Transmitter for Industrial
Vibration Monitoring
IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics, has announced the
release of Model 655A91, a low cost, 4-20 mA velocity transmitter.
Combining the capabilities of a piezoelectric vibration
sensor and a 4-20 mA transmitter, and featuring a 4-pin M12
connector, Model 655A91 was designed for easy integration
into existing industrial monitoring systems. Its embedded
piezoelectric element contributes to improved accuracy and
