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 ...

Tool developers have been working to keep pace with these requirements. For example, Synopsys has delivered faster circuit simulation performance every year, with improvements in both single core ...

Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

To start, I am not a career analog design engineer. I have worked for years as an analog/RF design engineer, including a stint in analog/mixed-signal IC design and layout. I also studied control ...

Shape-based routing has significant advantages for time-to-yield and design-for-manufacturing for analog, mixed-signal, and embedded memory designs. There is no doubt that the challenge of designing ...

GlobalFoundries has partnered with analog and mixed-signal IP supplier Thalia to simplify the complexities of analog design migration and IP reuse. Thalia, a member of GF’s GlobalSolutions Ecosystem, ...

The complexity of integrated circuit design has expanded a billion-fold since the invention of the first transistor, guided by the famous “Moore’s Law” of semiconductor manufacturing. An important ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a design framework to build next-generation analog computing chipsets that could be faster and require less power than the digital ...

Global semiconductor market is projected to be on track to exceed $1 trillion by end of decade, with some indicating this ...
