The level of automation applied to analog design has never approached the level enjoyed by digital designers. For years designers have iterated through schematic entry, physical layout, parasitic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meeting high-performance requirements at low power isn’t easy. What is already challenging in digital is even more complex in analog. After specification and block-level system concept, the analog ...

Abstract: The layout of analog blocks has for a long time been a critical aspect to achieving the theoretical performance of a circuit. Perhaps more importantly, when the layout fails to match the ...
