There's a gaping hole in analog layout design automation. Over the past few years, a number of EDA companies have tried to fill it, but largely failed due to overambitious plans or lack of appropriate ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sensors are everywhere. In the context of Industry 4.0 and IoT, we face an ever-increasing demand for high-quality sensing. Data acquisition is fundamental to adaptive production chains. So ...

Innovative functionality available with Mentor’s Analog FastSPICE platform can dramatically accelerate nanometer-scale verification of large, post-layout analog designs July 20, 2020 -- Mentor, a ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulsic, the premier provider of custom physical design tools for precision automation of analog/mixed-signal designs, today announced Animate Preview, a new product ...

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Thomas Jefferson once elegantly stated that some truths we can hold to be self-evident. In electronics design, one of these truths is this: Nature ...

For analog designers, moving to FinFet technology represents a drastic change. In this article, the author present seven recommendation that should make this transition smoother and facilitate the ...

Digital design is, of necessity, performed at a very high level of abstraction. When dealing with millions to hundreds of millions of transistors, working at the transistor level is completely ...
