The fact is that analog design is the most difficult and detailed kind of electronic design. The scope of variables to be managed, the extreme sensitivities to circuit constraints, and the quality of ...

I had met Professor Franco when I attended, for the first time, the Analog Aficionados dinner which Jim Williams had as an annual event in California. I was immediately drawn to him as I saw him ...

Digital circuit design is largely automated today, but most analog components still are designed manually. This may change soon. As analog design grows increasingly complex and error-prone, design ...

Last year, Silicon Valley startup Movellus started selling tools that automate the painstaking process of creating certain analog SoC components. This year, the company is trying to attract more ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

To implement its DTCO methodology, Analog Power Conversion has deployed Silvaco’s integrated platform, including the Victory TCAD™ suite for process and device simulation, UTMOST IV™ for SPICE model ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The quest for power reduction in electronic circuits is one of the main drivers of circuit design innovation. Recently, ...

Subtitled ‘Immersion in the black art of analog design’, this huge book has over 1,200 A4 pages of joy. Subtitled ‘Immersion in the black art of analog design’, this huge book has over 1,200 A4 pages ...

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 ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 8, 2002—the leading provider of synthesizable full-custom analog circuits, today announced the release of its revolutionary, silicon-proven analog synthesis solution- the ...
