Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

ASIC Design Services and Mentor to Hold Workshop on Thermal Analysis and Design
July 23, 2018 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: 1 minute

ASIC Design Services and Mentor, a Siemens Business, will hold a free workshop on "Thermal Analysis and Design for Electronic Systems", to be presented by Michael Kasperski, a FloTHERM XT specialist, on July 24, 2018, in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and July 26, 2018, in Midrand, South Africa.
Insufficient cooling can result in schedule delays, low reliability, and increased product costs, especially in high-performance devices where components are densely packed into ever-smaller enclosures. Proper thermal management of the entire design space is essential to delivering on-time, on-budget, reliable electronic products. Understand the heating effects of package selection, PCB layout, and board structure within an enclosure with FloTHERM XT, voted Product of the Year by Electronic Products Magazine.
FloTHERM XT is a unique, award-winning thermal simulation solution that can be used during all stages of the electronics design process. We will show you how FloTHERM XT draws together the EDA and MCAD design flows, resulting in a cleaner, symbiotic design process and allowing the latest data to be shared easily and efficiently between relevant team members. Additionally, we will illustrate how the software can be used in practice to evolve designs from a concept stage all the way through to final design verification.
We will demonstrate how both thermal experts and design engineers take advantage of FloTHERM XT as they develop the best cooling strategy, while keeping pace with other design constraints and changes as the overall system design evolves.
