PCB East to Showcase Design Products, Technologies
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 23 — More than 50 exhibiting companies will display and demonstrate their products, services and technologies for the PCB design industry during the ninth annual PCB Design Conference East 2004.
Scheduled for October 4-8 at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, NH, the event includes a two-day exhibition and a five-day conference of technical courses centered around the theme: "Education for Your Most Pressing Design Challenges: Including Lead-Free, Embedded Components, High Speed and PCB Design Fundamentals."
Special events that are free to registered attendees include "The Impact of Lead-Free on PCB Design" keynote address by Joseph Fjelstad, a co-founder of Silicon Valley startup SiliconPipe and Tessera's first fellow; an opening night reception in the exhibit hall; and the Brew-ha-ha Party at Jillian's in downtown Manchester, featuring food, drink and music by the Porch Dawgs (an infamous blues band made up of musically-inclined PCB industry professionals).
The following products and/or services are among the many to be featured at the show:
· Calumet Electronics Corp. (Booth 302) will feature lead-free surface coatings, including an electroless nickel/immersion gold (KAT Process) alternative to HASL and Presa RGA-14, an immersion silver process.
· ChipData's (Booth 120) PkgXpert 2.5 helps electronic OEMs and contract manufacturers to streamline the board manufacturing process by creating a specification-driven, standardized package geometry library that can be shared and regenerated whenever specifications change.
· Dynamic Details (Booth 119) will feature Stacked Microvia Technology (SMV), which improves routing density and design flexibility.
· Intercept Technology (Booth 101) will demonstrate and announce the release of Pantheon v5.0, Mozaix v2.1 and INDX v2.1.
· Polar Instruments (Booth 105) will feature the enhanced stackup builder SB200a v2.0, which now interfaces to the industry standard Si800m impedance solver to offer brilliant stackup graphics plus stack, drill and impedance data in a variety of file and print formats. A free reader allows users to easily share this high quality stackup presentation with anyone.
· Sovereign Circuits (Booth 214) will feature the addition of immersion silver finish to their product offerings.
· T-Tech (Booth 201) will feature QC Trace Cam, an integrated inspection system specifically for applications requiring magnified inspection area. Easy to install, QC Trace Cam allows real-time viewing of traces.
· Zuken USA (Booth 202) will feature CADSTAR 7, a PCB Desktop Solution that delivers a powerful price/performance package for PC-based PCB design. Zuken USA also will feature CR-5000, which incorporates the latest technology requirements (embedded components, RF design and design re-use) within a constrained design process methodology.
