Today’s electronic chips are commonly comprised of a mix of analog, RF, and digital components, with increasing functionalities, complexities, and numbers of transistors reaching the trillions. While ...

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 ...

For the most part analog designers have avoided the issues of sub-wavelength design-for-manufacturing (DfM.) Most chips with primarily analog content are done in large geometries—180 nm or ...

The fact is that analog design is the most difficult and detailed kind of electronic design. The scope of variables to be managed, the extreme sensitivities to circuit constraints, and the quality of ...

AI-driven design solution enables circuit optimization, saving weeks of manual and iterative effort while increasing design quality. Interoperable process design kits for all advanced TSMC FinFET ...

Newnes, an imprint of Elsevier Science & Technology Books, has published an eagerly awaited "bible" of analog electronic engineering and design by two industry leaders. Analog Circuit Design by Bob ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Curtis is a veteran journalist who never put down his Magic cards. What do you think of when you think of the office space that a ...

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 ...
