Anritsu announces it successfully completed testing of GCT Semiconductor's 4G LTE-Advanced chip, GDM7243Q, using Anritsu's MD8430A signaling tester with Rapid Test Designer (RTD). GCT Semiconductor, a leading designer and supplier of advanced 4G mobile semiconductor solutions, offers an advanced FDD-TDD LTE Category 5/6/7 single chip, with the world's first 4X4 MIMO carrier aggregation for LTE. GDM7243Q's operation and 4X4 MIMO capabilities have been tested on Anritsu's signaling testing system.

LPKF has received an order worth EUR 2.5 million from a Chinese electronic manufacturer for Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) systems. This is the first phase of a large-scale order LPKF was expecting in the fourth quarter of 2014, but which the client postponed.

Companies Extend 55nm Embedded Flash Collaboration with Unique Packaging Innovation

Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that TSMC and Mentor Graphics have reached the first milestone of their collaboration on 10nm EDA certification. Calibre® physical verification and design for manufacturing (DFM) platform, and the Analog FastSPICE™ (AFS™) Circuit Verification Platform, including AFS Mega, are certified by TSMC based on the most current version of 10nm design rules and SPICE models. New tool feature enhancement based on 10nm process requirements has been made in Olympus-SoC™ digital design platform with TSMC validation, and certification of full chip integration is actively on-going. In addition to 10nm, Mentor has also completed 16FF+ version 1.0 certification of the Calibre, Olympus-SoC and AFS platforms. These certifications provide designers with the earliest access to signoff technology optimized for TSMC's most advanced process nodes, with improved performance and accuracy.

ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS) announced today that its ANSYS® RedHawk™ and ANSYS Totem™ products are certified by TSMC for the most current version of 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET Design Rule Manual (DRM) and SPICE models, addressing the power and performance requirements for mobile, computing and networking applications. TSMC has certified these solutions for static and dynamic voltage drop analysis and advanced signal and power electromigration (EM) verification to meet the 10-nanometer requirements.
