For LAN switch manufacturers, Vertex Networks has released the first two chips in its third-generation XpressFlow 2001 series of 10/100-Mbit/s Ethernet switch chipsets: the SC-201 XpressFlow Engine and the EA-224 four-port 10/100-Mbit Fast Ethernet Access Controller. The switch chipsets, with a highly scaleable and flexible architecture, are built around the XpressFlow Bus providing from 1.05 to 1.6 Gbit/s of data bandwidth. The devices support up to 12 10/100Mbit Fast Ethernet ports, a combination of 10- and 100-Mbit ports, or up to 56 10-Mbit Ethernet ports. The SC-201 resolves destination MAC addresses (using an embedded high-density instruction set core processor optimized for network applications) and VLAN membership of incoming data packets. The EA-224 provides four access ports, buffers data, and handles MAC protocols. Vertex Networks: Product Code 4315

Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
