In our world based on electronics, the design of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs is still mainly done manually. While digital design benefits from complete synthesis flows, analog lags far behind in ...

Designing, constructing, testing, and improving circuits—especially those with significant analog content—was always one of my interests. The fact that you could arrange standard active and passive ...

A basic building block is often the key to completing an analog signal path in various applications, such as automated test ...

Astrus, a Canada-based startup focusing on analog IC design automation, is aspiring to revolutionize the global chip design industry by leveraging recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI).

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today introduced the Cadence ® Legato™ Reliability Solution, the industry’s first software product that meets the challenges of ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

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.

Carl Nelson is an analog IC designer. He consults at Linear Technology, which was recently acquired by Analog Devices. Bob Dobkin, Linear Tech co-founder and CTO, notes, "Carl is the best, most ...

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 ...
