]]> Polar Instruments logoWe’re happy to announce that Speedstack, Polar Instruments’ layer stackup design/documentation tools, can now be directly linked to Zuken’s CR-8000 Design Force and DFM Center.

Design Force users can now exchange pre-layout designs seamlessly thanks to Polar’s Speedstack for IC packaging and PCB design. CR-8000 DFM Center can validate the stackup before it’s released to manufacturing.

The link also empowers designers to:

  • Simplify material communication during the supply chain
  • Preserve signal integrity design accuracy throughout product development
  • Avoid material and impedance duplication
  • Access high-speed materials online

The interface relays comprehensive material information required for complex designs with high layer counts. Zuken customers can also access Polar’s expansive online library of high-speed base materials. Impedance information within the Speedstack is loaded into CR-8000’s environment; no tedious and error-prone manual entry is required.

For more information, read Polar and Zuken’s official announcement.

The plugin, called XJTAG DFT Assistant, helps to validate correct JTAG chain connectivity, while displaying boundary scan access and coverage onto the schematic diagram through full integration with Design Gateway. So if you are using boundary scan today or want to incorporate it in your next design, the XJTAG DFT Assistant plugin is a tool you should be using

]]> XJTAG logoJTAG is a powerful tool for debugging boards, in-circuit programming of FLASH/FPGA devices and for boundary scan. JTAG can be used to debug your first piece of hardware straight through to the high-volume manufacturing process. But let’s talk about the boundary scan side of JTAG in this post. As products get smaller and printed circuit boards become more dense, the boundary scan function becomes more and more important. Why? Because the physical space requirements for test points, ideally 0.035″ to 0.045″(.89mm to 1.14mm), is simply not available. Another factor to consider is the high pin count BGA where soldering 100s or 1000s of pins can easily create shorts or opens. These faults can stop a board from ever getting to the functional test phase for debug. So, in a nutshell, boundary scan is a tool you should consider part of every design.

Simply put, a boundary scan test shifts in a series of 1s and 0s through a predefined path or chain that enters and exits the board at the JTAG connector. A large number of ICs support a boundary scan chain so those 1s and 0s shift from pin to pin on each JTAG supported device. And with some creative test coverage schemes, even devices that don’t support JTAG can benefit. The difference between the input pattern and output pattern at the JTAG connector can identify shorts or opens on the PCB.

On the manufacturing test floor, a good portion of a board needs to be operational to get to the functional test phase. And if you have a dead board (i.e., won’t boot) boundary scan can quickly and precisely identify the fault(s) preventing a boot. Dead boards are costly and boundary scan can make a dead board operational.

XJTAG has partnered with Zuken create a new plugin for Design Gateway and is offering it free of charge. The plugin, called XJTAG DFT Assistant, helps to validate correct JTAG chain connectivity, while displaying boundary scan access and coverage onto the schematic diagram through full integration with Design Gateway. So if you are using boundary scan today or want to incorporate it in your next design, the XJTAG DFT Assistant plugin is a tool you should be using.

]]> Today I’m going to take a look at the functionality within E3.series that allows you to integrate with MCAD systems including Creo, CATIA and NX, to define cable lengths and harness structures. You can also watch a movie that shows how this is done in real life – transferring data back and forth from E3.schematic to Creo Parametric (aka ProE).

Electrical and MCAD integration, if you’re not already doing it, has the potential to save you a good deal of time in the electrical product development process. On the most basic level you can cut out the prototype stage needed for calculating wire lengths. If you’re also working with E3.formboard, as well as the basic module (E3.cable), then you can obtain the entire harness structure.

Watch the movie below that shows a user working in E3.schematic, exporting data via the E3.3D Routing Bridge, opening up Creo, routing the wires, and then exporting back into E3.schematic to get the actual wire lengths.
