Zuken Supports ArriaTM GX FPGAs from Altera
Zuken, the engineering consulting company, is providing a helping hand to designers adopting the latest technology, by offering free simulation design kits to assist with the integration of Altera Corporation's new ArriaTM GX FPGAs onto printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The ArriaTM GX FPGAs, Altera's new low cost, transceiver-based devices are ideal for - cost-sensitive high-volume applications where the technology is moving very rapidly with short design cycles, such as communications, computer, storage and industrial. Zuken is quick to provide users of its enterprise-wide advanced packaging and PCB design environment, CR-5000, with simulation design kits that enable rapid and easy adoption of the devices.
An extensive set of topology templates makes routing to JEDEC-defined signaling standards such as SSTL 1.8V a straightforward process. The kit makes it easy to compare real-board performance against the theoretical ideal, using waveform and eye pattern analysis, in addition to simulation models. To assist in electromagnetic compatibility, it also allows users to view results in both time and frequency domain, displaying both voltage and current. Importing the design kit is straightforward: the user simply visits Zuken's support website, LinkZ, and clicks to download.
Free downloads are available for Zuken customers with a LinkZ login. Visit http://www.zuken.com/linkz
