Meeting each other is allowed and possible again. Next week the Design Automation & Embedded Systems event will be entirely dedicated to knowledge sharing and exchanging visions and experiences with colleagues.
Everyone is busy at the moment, but where and when will you meet one day 20 exhibitors and you can do various knowledge sessions to follow? And of course it is always good to keep going and stay informed of the latest developments.
This is what a safe event visit looks like
To ensure the safety of all our visitors as best as possible, we ask all our visitors to... corona entrance ticket. Once approved, a visitor is not obliged to wear a face mask and the 1.5 meter distance does not have to be maintained.
In addition, we ask you to continue to follow the basic rules of the RIVM:
· Disinfect your hands
· Stay at home if you have complaints and get tested
Design challenges of using modern CPUs on SOM module applications
Modern interfaces such as USB Type-C, PCIe and Gen4 often make current designs more complex. Systems may not yet be compatible with the new generation of interfaces. A design method that can overcome such challenges is building a SOM module (system on module). This is a method in which the different system functionalities are integrated on a single board. SOM modules are often used in the field of embedded systems. Unlike a single-board computer, a SOM has a special function, much like a system on a chip (SoC).
Building a SOM brings advantages such as cost reduction, reuse of a design and high compatibility within embedded systems. During the D&E event, Claus Giebert from Advantech will give a presentation on behalf of Telerex explanation of how proven building blocks and local support contribute to a successful design.
Smart tools simplify PCB design
Anticipating potential problems early in the design process is the key to success in PCB design. The tools available to create a suitable layout are continuing to develop and respond more and more accurately to current market situations. For example, there are applications that enable designers to provide real-time information about the availability of specific components.
Olivier Arnaud from Siemens EDA speaks on behalf of Innofour the story behind a supply-chain-oriented application that puts real-time sourcing information at the fingertips of designers. This accelerates and simplifies the choice of components, leaving more time for design innovation and optimization.
Another method to obtain an up-to-date representation of design information is augmented reality (AR). This is an interactive experience of a real environment in which the objects found in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. During the D&E event, Erik Nijeboer explains CB Distribution about how this technique is used to design a PCB.
