However, for analog layout, techniques are still much the same as they were years ago. True, there have been some improvements such as using parameterized cells to generate Design Rule Check (DRC) ...

There has been vast progress over the last 30 years or so in digital layout automation, making it possible to develop complex digital ICs relatively quickly. However, for analog layout, techniques are ...

Below 28 nm, maximum device length limitations mean that analog designers often need to connect multiple short-length MOSFETs in series to create long-channel devices. These series-connected devices ...

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 ...

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 ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Field programmable analog arrays, like the AN10E40 from Anadigm Inc. The AN10E40 FPAA offers 20 configurable analog blocks (CABs). Each CAB contains an op amp, comparator, five switchedcapacitor ...

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 ...

Companies to enable easy node-to-node migration for analog blocks with enhanced PDK across multiple FinFET processes to accelerate design closure Early customers seeing more than 2.5X design cycle ...

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 ...
