In the analog/mixed-signal (AMS) arena, automated design of advanced ICs has long remained an objective rather than a reality. For the AMS design expert, automated tools have too often seemed to ...

Analog IC design is a very challenging task as essential information is missing in the early design stages. Because the simulation of larger designs is exceedingly computationally expensive at lower ...

Cadence is ushering in “the future for custom analog design” with Virtuoso Studio. The San Jose, California-based company said the new platform takes care of many of the challenges its customers face ...

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 ...

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.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a critical challenge in the design of analogue integrated circuits, where the growing density of components and higher operating frequencies lead to increased ...

Celera Semiconductor, the leading analog IC supplier using AI to slash the cost and time to develop and supply analog ICs, has appointed Bruno Kranzen to its Board of Directors.

Tool developers have been working to keep pace with these requirements. For example, Synopsys has delivered faster circuit simulation performance every year, with improvements in both single core ...

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 ...

A recent Semiconductor Intelligence Newsletter reviewed the present lineup of analog semiconductor companies. The newsletter said that one of the current changes involved Renesas Electronics’ ...
