Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

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 ...

Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

We are now more than a decade intothe 21st century, and on an ever-acceleratingfast track to technologicalinnovation in electronics.The transistor and progression intothe IC, or microchip, lit the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Before circuit design can begin on any advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the electrical behavior of the devices — transistors, diodes, resistors — must be described accurately in so-called ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Dr. Lianfeng Yang, Vice President of Marketing, ProPlus Design Solutions Circuit simulators are among the most ...

Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...

As the digital semiconductor manufacturing process moves into the FinFET era, more and more front-end-of-line (FEOL) defects are observed due to extremely small feature size and complex manufacturing ...
