Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

Mentor Graphics Reports Revenues of $291M in Fiscal Q3
November 20, 2015 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced financial results for the company’s fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2015. The company reported revenues of $291 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.28, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.12.
“Mentor achieved third-quarter guided results,” said Walden C. Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. “Active evaluations of Mentor’s Veloce emulator increased in the third quarter, but the time required for completion of evaluations also increased. This, along with semiconductor industry consolidations, is having a negative impact on our business. However, demand for EDA software for system design, particularly in the transportation industry, remains robust. Embedded electronics in automotive and aerospace applications continues to show rapid growth.”
During the quarter Mentor Graphics acquired all remaining outstanding shares of its majority-owned subsidiary, Calypto Design Systems, Inc. Mentor also announced its new Tessent® ScanPro product, which achieves significant compression of test data volume and thereby reduces the cost and time required to test an integrated circuit. The company also introduced support for 25G, 50G and 100G Ethernet in the Veloce® VirtuaLAB environment, for emulation of leading-edge networking and other massive Ethernet-based designs.
Mentor announced two automotive offerings during the quarter. The Mentor Automotive Safety-Certifiable Digital Instrument Cluster solution displays safety-critical driver information simultaneously with rich 3D graphics on a single instrument cluster display. This enables compliance with safety standards without pushing up hardware or safety certification costs. The Mentor Automotive Connected OS™ software platform provides faster integration and connectivity with car network communication frameworks and consumer electronic devices.
“Semiconductor consolidation and delays in emulator decisions are now having an adverse impact on our ability to close business,” said Gregory K. Hinckley, president of Mentor Graphics. “Because we recognize revenue upfront on product sales, changes in market outlook and demand are reflected in real time in Mentor’s results. Nevertheless, with appropriate scaling of the business and continued attention to expenses, we expect to deliver FY16 non-GAAP operating margins consistent with our strategic objective.”
Outlook
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the company expects revenues of about $336 million, non-GAAP earnings per share of about $0.47 and GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.32. For the full year fiscal 2016, the company expects revenues of about $1.18 billion, non-GAAP earnings per share of about $1.40, and GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.63.
Dividend
The company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.055 per share. The dividend is payable on January 4, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2015.

A Less Expensive Defense and Aerospace PCB Fab Startup
08/20/2024 | Alex Stepinski, Stepinski GroupEditor’s note: Investing in a new printed circuit board fabrication startup is not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet. Standing up a new “high-tech” PCB fab facility capable of becoming qualified for aerospace and defense work typically takes a minimum investment of $50 million. However, Alex Stepinski says entering the defense and aerospace markets with a new PCB fabrication start-up facility far under this prohibitive cost benchmark is possible when good partnerships, innovation, and sound engineering design enter from the beginning. In this article, Alex Stepinski outlines just how this can be achieved.
