The chip, board, and systems design industry represent the backbone of many electronics on the market today. In fact, chipmakers are currently standing out as the best-performing industry across sectors and regions according to CNBC Markets. Semiconductors are now powering the most essential technology due to the growing prevalence of internet-connected devices to the next-generation of artificial and machine intelligence. DesignCon will host several new products and services by the top companies powering in-demand devices.
“As the economy begins to favor chips and semiconductors again in 2020, DesignCon represents a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with leading companies succeeding in the market with their innovative products and services,” said Suzanne Deffree, brand director, DesignCon. “In addition to the numerous networking sessions, DesignCon is the ideal forum to learn about the newest trends and opportunities in the electronics today.”
Company announcements at DesignCon 2020 include:
Altair (booth 223) to showcase its comprehensive solution for PCB design automation and manufacturing verification as part of its recent acquisition of Polliwog.
Keysight Technologies (booth 725) will unveil the world’s first design and test workflow solution that reduces product development time and maximizes the reliability and interoperability of the end product with various DDR5 DRAM chip suppliers. Keysight’s comprehensive design and test workflow solution enables hardware engineers to meet their time-to-market window and deliver a high-performance, reliable end-product with new transmitter test methods to measure the signal eye diagram after equalization, new loopback bit-error-rate (BER) receiver tests to validate device and system reliability, and logic analysis to debug complex DDR5 traffic transactions to identify the source of system instability.
Molex (booth 631) will feature several exciting demos showcasing a variety of its latest solutions to optimize the entire high-speed channel including: BiPass Interconnect System for cable assemblies, QSFP-DD for high-speed I/O solutions, high-speed Twinax system NearStack, and Open 19 Infrastructure. Molex can optimize any high-speed channel— without compromising the clean data signal needed.
