Mentor Graphics Veloce Protocol Transactors
Mentor Graphics introduced a set of protocol transactors for use with the Veloce hardware emulation platform. The Veloce transactors help engineers to stress-test a DUT that includes one or more protocol interfaces on the SoC at orders of magnitude faster than simulation. The protocol transactors can be used with both transaction-based acceleration and traditional In-Circuit (ICE) modes of operation. The Veloce transactors is available now for deployment.
Mentor Graphics, Mecel Team on AUTOSAR 4.x Solution
Mentor Graphics and Mecel have teamed together to develop the first complete AUTOSAR 4.x solution for the automotive marketplace. Their solution for the design, configuration, generation, and implementation of an AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW) solution supports versions 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. Both Mentor Graphics and Mecel will sell the tools. Support for the tools will be provided by both companies to their respective customer bases. The products will be available this month.

White Paper: An Electrical-Thermal MMIC Design Flow
AWR recently published a white paper about the benefits of co-simulation. The title of the white paper is: An Electrical-Thermal MMIC Design Flow. The technical paper uses an actual design example to discuss the effectiveness of co-simulation between AWR’s Microwave Office high-frequency design software and CapeSym’s SYMMIC thermal analysis tool. An X-band RF power amplifier/low-noise amplifier MMIC for a transceiver application was designed in Microwave Office software and thermal coupling and other issues between the two circuits on the single die were quickly remedied with SYMMIC to produce optimum results.
Mentor Graphics Offers JESD51-14 Compliant Thermal Characterization Solution

Cobham Technical Services Debuts Opera v15 Electromagnetics Simulator
Cobham Technical Services rolled out version 15 of their Opera electromagnetics simulator for design engineers. Opera v15 includes three-dimensional mechanical stress analysis, which extends the tool’s multiphysics capability to provide a single-step solution for complex design problems. Opera version 15 also supports the rapid creation of models of coils. It does this by providing a dynamic pictorial representation of the model under construction, to guide the engineer as design data is entered.
