2. Electronic Design Software: Status / Requirements A) Europractice subscription: 200/500/900 €/y for Xilinx donation/full/IC + Maintenance: Xilinx : 430, Mentor: 500, Cadence: 1465 (1150 PCB only) Next instalment: Aug. 2004 B) Cadence (Flowcad): 13.000/y C) Eagle ? ~100s-1000s/2y ? Due ! Requirements: Cadence : volume production (2005), archive Gerber files ! Xilinx : throughout ATLAS life-time Mentor : ? Mentor currently not used on trigger project, except simulation Purity boards (SpartanXL) suffering from lack of S/W support:  Use Mentor Leonardo ? Mentor is a candidate for future PCB designs

3. Uli Schäfer JEM Status JEM0 : Ready for RAL test Feb.9-13 (1G-link broken on JEM0.2?) Opto translators for ROD links work. JEM single-ended out  opto transmitter  10m fibre  opto receiver  single ended out to 9U-ROD. Currently single channel, flying leads. Receiver PCBs arrived from PCB-pool. Transmitter PCBs got lost. S/M regulators (NatSemi) not yet arrived.  Put current opto modules on 6U carrier, use standard regulators. JEM1 : cannot use DDR interface due to location constraints D0/1 D0 D1 D0/1 D0 D1 CK*2
