Sanmina-SCI licenses Nortel Networks' Routing technology.Sanmina-SCI Corp. (San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , CA, www.sanmina-sci.com), an electronics contract manufacturer and printed circuit board (PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. ) fabricator fab·ri·cate tr.v. fab·ri·cat·ed, fab·ri·cat·ing, fab·ri·cates 1. To make; create. 2. To construct by combining or assembling diverse, typically standardized parts: , has become the first company to enter a worldwide licensing agreement under Nortel Networks' Channel Routing technology licensing program, authorizing it to design and manufacture PCBs using Nortel Networks' patented technology. Channel Routing allows designers the opportunity to improve the routability of signals out of dense array packages and potentially reduce the number of layers required to interconnect components. It is an algorithm that utilizes blind vias and/or microvias to open up routing channels in dense array packages allowing for improved wiring density. A software layout tool works with Sanmina-SCI's current ECAD ECAD Electronic Computer-Aided Design ECAD European Cities Against Drugs ECAD European Center for Aviation Development ECAD external carotid artery dysplasia tool to allow for auto-routing of designs with high I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output array packages, such as ball grid arrays (BGAs), speeding up the design process. With this license, Sanmina-SCI is immediately able to offer Channel Routing to all of its board layout and PCB customers. |
