DFT software shrinks test development time for analog ICs
Siemens Digital Industries Software introduced Tessent AnalogTest software – an innovative solution that reduces pattern generation time for analog circuit tests from months to days. The solution enables testing of analog circuitry in integrated circuits (ICs) up to 100 times faster than traditional manual methods. Analog circuit testing has traditionally been a labor-intensive endeavor, requiring […]
Signal Integrity and high-speed design challenges: interview with Mentor’s Todd Westerhoff

Todd has over 38 years of experience in systems modeling, simulation and signal integrity. Prior to joining Mentor, Todd held senior technical and management roles at SiSoft, Cisco and Cadence. We spent time talking about current […]
Not for dummies – Automotive testing & engine expos bring hot tech instrumentation to development labs
The Automotive testing expo and engine expo recently wrapped up in the Detroit area, collocated with events for automotive interiors and autonomous vehicle technology. As always, there were numerous examples of interesting technology on the show floor. In the pages that follow we highlight some of the more noteworthy developments we saw there. NEXT PAGE: […]
Dynamic testing saves energy, time and money
Dynamic testing of performance factors for a Department of Defense (DoD) customer’s helicopter transmissions, primarily in the Apache and Blackhawk classes presented a challenge, which involved an existing bank of over 20 individual test stands. The existing test stands ranged from 20–50 years in age and had been built with single-purpose functionality. The stands suffered […]
Siemens Equips Motor Management System with Profinet Interface
Siemens Industry Automation Division has expanded its Simocode Pro motor management system to include a basic unit with Profinet interface. Linking up Simocode Pro via Ethernet to higher-level automation systems allows new functions to be provided for motor diagnostics, control and protection. The additional integration of PROFIenergy also improves energy management. Siemens new Simocode Pro […]
