Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

For decades, developers of radio frequency (RF) chips and other analog/mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuits (ICs) have used traditional techniques for design and verification. Most RFIC designers ...

Unfortunately, the current design-verification process is hampering attempts to address these challenges. Because design verification occurs late in the design process, there's a high risk of design ...
