There has been vast progress over the last 30 years or so in digital layout automation, making it possible to develop complex digital ICs relatively quickly. However, for analog layout, techniques are ...

However, for analog layout, techniques are still much the same as they were years ago. True, there have been some improvements such as using parameterized cells to generate Design Rule Check (DRC) ...

There's a gaping hole in analog layout design automation. Over the past few years, a number of EDA companies have tried to fill it, but largely failed due to overambitious plans or lack of appropriate ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

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 ...

The complexity of integrated circuit design has expanded a billion-fold since the invention of the first transistor, guided by the famous “Moore’s Law” of semiconductor manufacturing. An important ...

Analog and mixed-signal design are an essential part of modern electronics. At Agile Analog, we often hear that digital design engineers find integrating analog components can be a daunting task. So, ...

AI-driven design solution enables circuit optimization, saving weeks of manual and iterative effort while increasing design quality. Interoperable process design kits for all advanced TSMC FinFET ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Thomas Jefferson once elegantly stated that some truths we can hold to be self-evident. In electronics design, one of these truths is this: Nature ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...
