The latest version of Cadence Design System’s Encounter digital IC design platform includes chip optimisation, mixed-signal support for very large 65nm-and-below designs, and diagonal routing using ...

When designing a chip, a designer needs to consider many tradeoffs before developing the logic. For example, if a chip is being developed for mobile applications, power becomes a very important factor ...

Designed a 3-bit multi modulus programmable divider (MMD) using 2/3 cells. Implemented and verified both in analog and digital designs. For analog design, the schematic layout was captured using ...

Malaysia Semiconductor IC Design Park 2 represents a strategic shift towards higher-value activities such as IC design, ...

IROC Technologies faced developing an integrated circuit (IC) - from scratch - with limited internal IC design resources. To meet the aggressive tapeout schedule, IROC needed to feel confident in the ...

For the most part, we’ve all been doing integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) layout the same way for decades. Designers put together the design, be it intellectual property (IP), block, or ...

We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat limited.

In 2022, the overall revenue of the global IC design industry reached US$215.4 billion. Among them, the US IC design sector is the largest in scale, with a 63% market share and revenue of over US$130 ...

The AI revolution is driving change in how we design and manufacture everything from data centers to servers and chips. Even what we consider a chip is changing from the integration of analog circuits ...

For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates ...

A new technical paper titled “Generative AI for Analog Integrated Circuit Design: Methodologies and Applications” was published by researchers at McMaster University. “Electronic Design Automation ...
