Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

Kardinal Microsystems Joins Zuken USA Startup Partner Program
August 18, 2016 | ZukenEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Kardinal Microsystems has joined Zuken USA’s Startup Partner Program aimed at early to mid-stage companies developing electronic-based products. The new program provides access to state-of-the-art PCB and IC packaging development tools, with special terms designed to accommodate the development needs of an early-stage company.
Based in Burlington, Vermont, Kardinal Microsystems was founded in 2015 to develop a superior solution platform for IoT applications. Pascal Nsame, CEO and Founder, said: “We have extremely ambitious goals that require state-of-the-art design solutions and a partner with a proven history of technological innovation. Zuken USA has the technology we need; particularly in the area of chip/package/board co-design. This partnership is essential for our business to succeed.”
Kardinal Microsystems has developed “the smallest, fastest, smartest, most efficient IoT data platform solution available in the industry at the device level”.
Kent McLeroth, President and CEO of Zuken USA, said: “We are committed to working with early and mid-stage companies, such as Kardinal Microsystems. Our Startup Partner Program enabled us to work with Pascal and Kardinal Microsystems as a founding partner to develop a program that would provide them access to Zuken’s CR-8000 development platform while still meeting their startup needs. Helping early stage companies achieve big things is a win-win for everyone.”
Kardinal Microsystems worked closely with Zuken USA on the structure of and terms of the Startup Partner Program, offering insight into the incubation and acceleration phases of early product prototype development.
As part of the program Zuken USA offers CR-8000, the industry’s only 3D, product-centric design solution that offers architecture design, concurrent 3D multi-board support, ECAD/MCAD co-design and chip/package/board co-design. This is followed by training and deployment assistance.
