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

Creating reusable and portable analog intellectual property (IP) is a key trend to watch in EDA for 2009 and beyond. Finding a way to develop reusable analog IP will allow designers to build ...

A new 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) IP claims to have a unique value proposition: it’s process agnostic. You can generate transistor-level schematics, pick the process for specific needs, ...

From a silicon design perspective, the industry has long held the notion that power consumption can be reduced simply by porting chips forward to the next process technology node. Yet as more consumer ...
