Link simulation resolves
performance/cost equation
To assist OEMs in the design and verification of interconnection links, FCI has a simulation service that defines complete solutions that simultaneously optimise high-speed performance and cost.
To assist OEMs in the design and verification of interconnection links, FCI has introduced a simulation service that defines complete solutions that simultaneously optimise high-speed performance and cost Able to characterise and simulate every component of the interconnection link between signal transmitter and receiver, FCI's high-speed link simulation service provides designers with the means to evaluate component interdependence and impact on high speed data signal integrity

Connector improves medical imaging
The MEG-Array High-Density Mezzanine System provides the features needed for MRI, CT, and other imaging applications to achieve real-time, high-resolution imaging.
At the heart of the service is FCI's proprietary Iconsim simulation software.
Modular in structure, Iconsim brings together a complete suite of design and verification tools that enables true end-to-end interconnect link simulation and which takes into account transmitter and receiver models.
Referencing a large internal library of link component models based on real system measurements, Iconsim's design modules allow precise modelling of connectors, PCBs, via holes and cables.
Sensitivity to normal production tolerances can also be taken into account by the software.
To quantify and qualify any performance improvements to be gained from signal conditioning techniques at transmitter and receiver, pre-emphasis and active, passive and adaptive equalisation can also be added to the high-speed interconnect link simulation.
