PHELPS, NY– Z-AXIS recently won a contract to design an electronic controller board for Qualitrol Corporation. The PCB will be used in Qualitrol’s monitoring systems for the electrical utilities industry, specifically in instruments that monitor electrical apparatus in power distribution substations. Z-AXIS’ design for the microprocessor-based programmable controller will be more compact, energy-efficient and cost less than the existing designs.
 
“Z-AXIS impressed us with their flexibility to work on fast-track projects, their knowledge of electronic system design and their reputation for creating high-reliability industrial products,” says Bob Taylor, senior mechanical engineer at Qualitrol.

NAPA, CA—Accellera announced that its Board of Directors and Technical Committee members approved a new version of the Verilog-Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) standard, Verilog-AMS 2.3. The new Verilog-AMS standard unifies the Verilog-AMS 2.2 specification with the IEEE Std. 1364 and the Verilog hardware description language (HDL) standard.

Verilog-AMS 2.3 allows EDA software tool developers to implement EDA tools without ambiguities in the language interpretation. This version encompasses analog and mixed-signal extensions to IEEE Std. 1364 used in digital circuit design and verification.  

The AMS standard is a result of the efforts of the Technical Committee members. To participate in the Accellera AMS Technical Committee efforts, please visit www.accellera.org/activities/verilog-ams/.
