Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

It just struck me the other day why the time for designing analog circuits on a PC board using things like op-amps, data converters, and other analog pieces-parts is ending. The ability to engineer a ...

Several years ago, analog and mixed signal (AMS) content hit a wall. Its contribution to first-time chip failure doubled, and there is no evidence that anything has improved dramatically since then.

Gain a greater intuitive understanding of system operation by transforming your design into its most fundamental elements for simulation. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION ...

Designers today find themselves adding more and more analog and mixed-signal content to their creations. And at nanometer geometries and gigabit speeds, digital circuits begin to look more analog than ...

If you want to know what analog/mixed-signal designers need, ask Arvin Shahani, a member of the technical staff at Fairchild Semiconductor. Shahani's entire presentation at ICCAD last week was devoted ...
