![]() ![]() Do NOT use a copy/paste of your main schematic. In the top schematic and in simulation schematic, the symbol for your main schematic should be used. In your simulation schematic, use the special ADK VDD and GND pins on the simulation schematic and connect them to the vdd1, vdd2, gnd1, and gnd2 pins to power up your circuit for simulation. ![]() You can then connect these pins/ports to the global VDD and GND in the top-level schematic. At all lower level schematics in your heirarchy, use pin/port names such as vdd1, vdd2, gnd1, and gnd2. The best approach is to only use these two schematic symbols in your top-level schematic and in your simulation schematic.ĭo NOT put VDD and GND in your main schematic or any lower level schematic. Second, VDD and GND are reserved global symbols that can cause problems. CodeSourcery specialized in tools designed to help embedded software developers create open source applications for use in consumer electronics such as cell phones.2 Design Manager: Basic Project Managementģ Design Architect: Basic Schematic EntryĤ.1 Preparing for Quicksim Using adkdve05 and adkdve12Ĥ.2 Simulating the Inverter Schematic with QuicksimĤ.3.2 Creating a Quicksim Design Viewpoint from Scratchĥ.1 Preparing for Accusim with adkdve05 or adkdve12ĥ.2 Simulating the Inverter Schematic with Accusimĥ.5 DC Sweep Analysis (Transfer Function)ĥ.7 Preparing for Accusim Using Design Viewpoint Editorĥ.7.1 Preparing a Design Viewpoint From ScratchĦ.1 IC Station: Schematic Driven Layout (SDL) for AMI 1.2 ProcessĦ.1.1 Preparing for IC Layout Using adkdve12Ħ.2 IC Station: Schematic Driven Layout (SDL) for AMI 0.5 ProcessĦ.2.2 Plan Ahead: Overview of File Heirarchyħ Digital SDL Design Using Standard Librariesħ.3 IC Station: Digital Schematic Driven Layoutħ.3.1 Preparing for IC Layout Using sdl_prepĨ.0.6 Changing Digital Pads to Analog Pads The company additionally bought California-based software developer CodeSourcery in 2010 to strengthen its open source systems development holdings. Virtual Garage is used in designing automotive electrical and electronic systems, and Mentor Graphics saw it as complementary technology to its CHS software for electrical systems design and wire harness engineering. ![]() Also that year it acquired the Virtual Garage product line from Freescale. In 2010 the company purchased Valor Computerized Systems, an Israel-based provider of productivity improvement software for printed circuit board manufacturers and distributors. The deal complemented Mentor Graphic's existing mechanical analysis products, such as its Flomerics application. Flowmaster's applications aid in the design of complex fluid flow network systems such as water-cooled electronic racks, automotive vehicle thermal management, and aerospace fuel systems. In 2012 Mentor Graphics acquired Dutch-owned, UK-based Flowmaster Group, a developer of system design software used by engineers to simulate computational fluid dynamics. Mentor Graphics sees the development of new EDA applications as key to maintaining market share, and like many competitors in the market, the company is aggressive on the acquisition front, buying smaller companies for both the technology they've developed and for their engineering staff and expertise. The company's top ten clients accounted for 45% of its business in 2012.ĭespite higher operating expenses in 2012, particularly in the areas of sales, marketing, and research and development, Mentor Graphics enjoyed profit growth of about 300% for the year by keeping other costs down. Sales of services and technical support also grew 9% on strong demand. Sales of software and related systems, which account for more than 60% of sales, enjoyed a jump of 12% for the year compared with 2011, thanks mainly to large contract renewals, as well as an increase in smaller sales. In fiscal 2012 Mentor Graphic's revenue crested the $1 billion dollar mark for the first time. Mentor Graphics gets more than half of its revenues from Europe and the Asia/Pacific region, particularly Japan. ![]() Clients come from such industries as aerospace, IT, and telecommunications. Its software is used to design components for such products as computers and wireless handsets. Products include PADS (PCB design), Nucleus (operating system), and Calibre (IC design). The company is a leading global developer of electronic design automation (EDA) software and systems used by engineers to design, simulate, and test electronic components, such as integrated circuits (IC's), wire harness systems, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Mentor Graphics knows that everyone sometimes needs a helping hand, even engineers. ![]()
