Accelerating Wire Harness Development for Off-Highway Veh
A Fully Automated Approach for Analog Circuit Reuse
Demonstrated in this paper is a technique for automatic circuit resizing between different technologies. It is not based on any optimization techniques, but rather relies on a new algorithm based on knowledge extraction, which makes it a very fast technique. This technique studies the original design and extracts its major features (basic devices & blocks features, device matching, parasitics, symmetry) and then produces a re-sized design in the target technology with the same performance as the original design. The migration of a low voltage Delta Sigma modulator is presented in this paper to validate the migration engine.

A Strategy for Transformation
Design of modern electrical systems and their associated harnesses has become a complex task where competitive pressures continue to drive prices down as demands spiral for improved quality and reaction to increasing complexity and change requests. A critical question is "How can we provide ever more complex interconnect functionality at a competitive cost and quality?" To satisfy these needs OEM's and their suppliers are looking for new solutions that deliver dramatic productivity shifts.
ECAD specific solutions to specify, simulate and manufacture the wiring harness, all based on a solid backbone that handles the complex data flows across the ECAD environment and beyond. Key to this issue is to have a complete ECAD tool flow that addresses the complexities both within and across multiple domains. However, competing priorities, interests and skills make it extremely difficult to create a single solution that drives across the enterprise and yet responds to it's organizational complexities and variety of roles.
This paper describes the challenge and introduces some thinking into possible tool adoption strategies for migrating to a more integrated approach.
Two Simple Performance Improvements
Viewing Data Via ODBC
The Progress Explorer Framework
The characteristics of today's complex IC designs are making accelerated processing of design data an essential part of design-to-silicon flows. To achieve profitability, design houses and fabs alike must be able to process huge and complicated volumes of design data swiftly.
