BoardView Becomes SystemNav

Almost two years ago we looked at Magma’s newly-announced BoardView. The idea was to simplify the border crossing between chip and board when tracing signals and tracking down issues.

Magma has now announced the new-and-updated version of this tool, which they’re now calling SystemNav. They’ve essentially increased the reach of the tool to include 3D packages and multi-chip modules as well as chips and boards. But they also say that they’ve fundamentally beefed up the platform to handle more than two design databases, improve performance, and provide a more robust set of features, all built on a new underlying framwork.

To use their words, “We started with a Model T with limited mileage and capability.  We now have a modern Mercedes with much more power, capability, features, and total different framework.”

From Datasheet to Design: Picking the Perfect Operational Amplifier
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Christopher John Gozon (Goz) from Analog Devices and Amelia Dalton explore the what, where and how of operational amplifiers. They also examine roles that supply voltage, voltage offset, and input bias and input offset current play in operational amplifiers and how you can take advantage of Analog Devices’ op amp innovation for your next design.
