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 ...

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.

SAN FRANCISCO — In an effort to reposition itself against the incumbent in the analog tools world, Mentor Graphics Corp. will announce this week enhancements to its front-to-back tool set for analog ...

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 ...

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 ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

Targeted to provide a robust interactive design environment for early detection and elimination of IC’s layout design rule violations. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GBT Technologies Inc ...

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 ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments (TI) and Analog Devices (ADI) are reportedly preparing selective price increases across product lines in early 2026, citing rising semiconductor supply chain costs. The plans have ...
