Continuing its tradition of promoting and recognizing printed
circuit board (PCB) designer excellence, Mentor Graphics
Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) announced the winners of its 19th Annual
PCB Technology Leadership Awards at a banquet in coordination with
PCB Design Conference West. The longest running competition of its
kind for PCB designers in the EDA industry, this year the program
attracted a record number of submissions from countries around the
world, including Germany, Switzerland, China, Norway, Singapore,
Austria, Canada, Korea, India, Israel, Portugal and the United
Kingdom. Industry experts judged entries in six categories
representing a wide variety of fields: PC Computers and
Peripherals; Consumer Electronics & Handhelds; Industrial
Control, Instrumentation, Security & Medical; Military &
Aerospace; Telecommunication Switches, Network Servers, Base
Stations and Computer Mainframes; Transportation and Automotive;
and Best Design Overall. �Mentor Graphics is committed to the PCB
designer community, and our PCB Technology Leadership Awards
program provides the opportunity to showcase the most innovative
and talented designers worldwide,� said Henry Potts, vice president
and general manager, systems design division, Mentor Graphics.
�This year we saw a significant increase in the complexity of the
submissions, with designs including high-speed, pin densities and
layers, as well as use of advanced PCB fabrication like microvias.
This further validates our investment in innovative design
technologies, thus enabling designers to overcome these challenges
and deliver competitive electronic products, faster.� This year�s
panel of judges included: Pete Waddell, president, UP Media Group;
Rick Hartley, industry consultant; David Wiens, director of product
development, systems design division, Mentor Graphics; Happy T.
Holden, senior technologist, systems design division, Mentor
Graphics; and Gary Ferrari, industry consultant. �I am pleased to
be involved in the judging of the EDA industry�s most prestigious
PCB design competition. Over the past few years, I have seen
exponential growth in both the quality and the complexity of the
designs,� said Waddell. �It was both an honor and a challenge for
me to help select the best designs, and the best designers, from
around the world. The variety of submissions continues to impress
me. Selecting the winners was a tough decision and, in my opinion,
everyone who entered was worthy of an award.� "Winning the Military
& Aerospace category in the industry's primary design
competition is a tremendous honor," said Jayson Harames, PCB design
engineer, L-3 Communications. "The hybrid switch module was one of
my more complex designs, and makes this achievement even more
meaningful to me." This year�s Technology Leadership Awards winner
for the Best Overall Design is the PCB design team from Siemens,
including: Mr. Helmut Riedl, Mr. Manfred Hofstatter, Mr. Michael
Heider and Mr. Alfred Fuchs. The Siemens team�s winning entry is a
reconfigurable FPGA-based signal processing platform on PCI-X. This
design was created using Mentor Graphics Board Station RE,
HyperLynx� and AutoTherm� tools. Mentor Graphics will honor award
winners at a banquet on Wednesday, March 28th, at the Villa
Montalvo Center in Saratoga, California. 2007 Technology Leadership
