Combination of Agilent Genesys, T-Tech Quick Circuit System to Speed PCB Design, Verification and Fabrication as Industry's First Complete Solution
SANTA CLARA, Calif., and NORCROSS, Ga., Sept. 3, 2008 - Agilent Technologies Inc. and T-Tech Inc. today announced a joint agreement to offer a solution for fast RF printed circuit board (PCB) design, verification and fabrication. The collaboration combines Agilent's Genesys < www.agilent.com/find/eesof-genesys > RF and microwave circuit design and verification software with T-Tech's Quick Circuit < www.t-tech.com > System for PCB prototyping. The combination is expected to represent the industry's first complete PCB design, verification and prototyping solution.
"Collaborating with T-Tech, Agilent can provide a complete turnkey design and fabrication flow for high-speed/high-frequency PCB designers," said Todd Cutler, marketing and services manager of Agilent's EEsof EDA < www.agilent.com/find/eesof > division. "It will enable our customers to work from idea to physical prototype all within the Genesys software environment."
"By partnering with Agilent to integrate its Genesys suite of EDA tools with our high-frequency, precision PCB fabrication machines, we will give our shared customers the ability to go from desktop design to physical prototype in hours instead of weeks or months," said John Taylor, president of T-Tech.
Agilent's Genesys is an integrated EDA software platform for RF and microwave designers and workgroups. From initial system architecture through final documentation, Genesys provides state-of-the-art performance in a single, easy-to-use design environment that is fast, powerful and accurate.
T-Tech's Quick Circuit System < www.t-tech.com/products/default.asp > is a rapid-prototyping solution used in the fabrication phase of circuit board prototypes. By bringing prototyping methods in-house, it enables engineering teams to save both time and money. The Quick Circuit < www.t-tech.com/news/default.asp > can drill, mill and route traces and spaces as fine as 0.100mm /.004 inches, making it ideal for producing analog, digital or RF/microwave prototypes < www.t-tech.com/about/maynews3.htm >.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
Genesys 2008.07 configurations for high-yield physical board design start at approximately $4,000, which includes the first 12 months' support.
T-Tech's Quick Circuit Systems start at approximately $12,000 for basic circuit board fabrication, which includes the first 12 months' support.
