Zuken Ramps Up Support of FPGA Technology
June 13, 2008 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MUNICH, Germany and WESTFORD, Mass. Zuken released a simulation kit for Altera's low-cost Cyclone III FPGA family of products, bolstering support of programmable devices in board designs. The kit is free to download for users of Zuken's CR-5000 advanced modular and robust electronics systems and PCB design suite.
Zuken reports that board designers can save time and increase quality by simulating signal integrity of FPGAs during both the circuit design and layout phases, without the need to construct their own what-if scenarios or map to simulation models. The kit provides a set of topology templates and simulation models for comparing real board performance to engineering needs and constraints using waveform and eye-pattern analysis. This is designed to simplify the process of translating net topology specifications in application notes to layout constraints. An in-context help facility explains special high-speed layout requirements in context.
The Zuken partnership leverages Altera's CPLD and FPGA technology in comprehensive design environments, said Jim Smith, director of EDA vendor relations at Altera. The companies have previously released free downloadable footprint design kits for the MAX II CPLD and the Cyclone III FPGA, as well as simulation kits for the Stratix II and the Arria T GX FPGA.
