Selecting the right construction for a PCB stack and meeting the tight loss budget of PCB transmission lines are major challenges for designers and manufacturers of high-frequency printed circuit boards. According to Avishtech – a young San Jose-based provider of innovative EDA solutions – traditional EDA tools fall short of needs in those two areas, often leading to a trial-and-error development process that translates into long design cycles and increased costs.
Avishtech started addressing these problems in 2019. “That’s when me and my partners saw an opportunity to really make an impact and actually do things in a very different way,”, said founder and CEO Keshav Amla in the video interview he recently gave to Sanjay Gangal from EDACafe. “We had the right backgrounds and we felt that we were the right people to do that.” So after completing his master’s degree, in 2019 Amla left his PhD program to work on Avishtech full-time. One year later, in July 2020, the company launched its Gauss product line: Gauss Stack, a PCB stack-up design and simulation solution, and Gauss 2D, a field solver that improves transmission line loss modeling. Let’s now take a closer look at Avishtech and at the recently announced latest versions of its tools.
