Along the path from specification to silicon, the design of analog/mixed-signal chips comprises a variety of challenges. They are of technological, methodological, organizational, communicational, and ...

The Cadence analog/mixed-signal (AMS) IC design flow is now certified for UMC’s 22-nm ultra-low power and ultra-low leakage process technologies. This flow optimizes process efficiency and shortens ...

Analog behavior is difficult to compress into simple pass/fail decisions that could reduce redundant coverage.

San Jose, Calif. – Cadence Design Systems Inc. will announce this week that its Virtuoso Custom Design Platform is now able to handle analog and digital blocks in the same design flow, delivering on a ...

From its inception, the holy grail for the design automation industry has been in the analog realm. Digital logic, with its relatively straightforward structures and topologies, has long been the ...

In the relentless march toward smaller, lighter, and better mobile wireless devices, the ever-increasing integration of analog and digital circuits has been essential. This trend toward tighter ...

For an area that spawned the electronic design automation (EDA) industry, analogue engineering still relies heavily on manual intervention at every stage. Machine learning is creeping up on ...
