Panasonic and Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ:ANST) have released a new
design kit for Any Layer Interstitial Via Hole (ALIVH) Board for Nexxim®,
HFSS™ and Ansoft Designer®.
The design kit can be used together with Panasonic surface mount
technology (SMT) components, such as varistors and common mode noise
filters. Engineers designing high-performance HDMI signal lines can
utilize this design kit to ensure the signal quality of the digital
signal content. The kit is equipped with scalable differential and
common mode elements that can be applied in circuit- and system-level
simulations to produce realistic waveforms.
“Panasonic is pleased to complement Ansoft’s
powerful simulation technologies with an ALIVH Design Kit together with
our most advanced surface mount components,”
said Mr. Naoto Okamura, group leader, Device Application Center at
Panasonic. “We look forward to expanding all
the possibilities with Ansoft for board design to extend the library in
the future to include LCR composites, noise suppression components,
baluns, SAW devices and power supplies to benefit our mutual customers.”
Panasonic’s ALIVH technology has several
unique features. Engineers can design circuit boards that are more
compact because via holes can be placed in all layers of the board.
These compact board designs allow engineers to add greater circuit
functionality due to the increased real estate and to shorten the
effective trace length for high-speed signal circuits, resulting in
greater performance. Lighter weight is achieved by applying non-woven
aramid reinforcement and via holes free of copper plating. ALIVH board
applications include portable communication information terminal
devices, such as cellular phones and PDA; small-sized electronic
equipment, such as digital video cameras; and package substrate, such as
multi-chip modules (MCMs).
The Panasonic ALIVH Design Kit is available in scalable form, allowing
users to modify board stack-ups to maximize the performance of printed
circuit boards based on the Panasonic ALIVH technology. Panasonic ALIVH
Board and device models are reputed for their accuracy and robustness,
and all extracted parasitic elements and coupling have been verified to
converge under all operating conditions.
The design kit is available from Panasonic’s
Web site (http://industrial.panasonic.com/i/library.html)
and is easy to download and configure for use within Nexxim and Ansoft
Designer. This site provides Ansoft customers with the ability to search
for components by name, performance data or other specification.
Panasonic will maintain model support and upgrades, while Ansoft will
address all customer support for Nexxim and Ansoft Designer.
ALIVH technology and the associated Ansoft Design Kit also will be
introduced in the Panasonic booth at Techno-Frontier, to be held at the
Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Japan from April 18
to 20, 2007. To learn more about this event, visit www.jma.or.jp/TF/en/index.html.
