Analog IC design is a very challenging task as essential information is missing in the early design stages. Because the simulation of larger designs is exceedingly computationally expensive at lower ...

In the analog/mixed-signal (AMS) arena, automated design of advanced ICs has long remained an objective rather than a reality. For the AMS design expert, automated tools have too often seemed to ...

Cadence is ushering in “the future for custom analog design” with Virtuoso Studio. The San Jose, California-based company said the new platform takes care of many of the challenges its customers face ...

I was out to dinner in Montreal a few weeks ago. As I walked down the four flights of dark, narrow stairs from the restaurant to the street, I stumbled on the last step and fell on my hands and knees.

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

Digital design is hard. But in the right environment, digital circuits are more forgiving than analog. That 3.3V signal coming out of the chip has to drop a lot along the way to not be a logic level ...

The VLSI Laboratory provides a Linux based high performance computing platform used for teaching integrated circuit design courses, such as Analog Electronic Design, Design of Digital Systems, ...

The tradeoff between integrated and standalone ADCs regarding performance, specification, complexity, robustness, and cost. How to evaluate which analog technology to use to meet your application ...

Siemens claims the new software allows users to test analog circuitry in integrated circuits up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. Siemens Digital Industries Software recently announced its ...

Bengaluru-based deep tech startup Maieutic Semiconductor has raised USD 4.15 million in seed funding, co-led by Endiya Partners and Exfinity Venture Partners. This funding round marks a significant ...

Past columns have discussed sampling analog signals and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technologies. In my experience, though, engineers who simply want to use ADCs rather than design with them, ...
