Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Aug 4, 2014 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation, today introduced Cadence® Voltus™-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution, a ...
Technologies that had become specialist tools are moving back into mainstream usage; shift left is not just about doing things earlier in the flow. A few decades ago, all designers did ...
Three years ago, I wrote a blog entitled “Linking Virtual Wafer Fabrication Modeling with Device-level TCAD Simulation,” in which I described the seamless connection between the SEMulator3D virtual ...
As feature sizes continue to shrink at a breakneck pace, transistor-level analysis and optimization in digital design is becoming a necessity for achieving a solution with the unique combination of ...
This year, several companies are expected to bring 600/650 V Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors to market. Almost all will be normally-on (depletion mode) transistors connected in a cascode ...
At the heart of modern electronics are transistors, which act like valves to direct the flow of electrons. Now researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have created the first ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) For years it has been known that scaling bulk silicon transistors would be extremely challenging, if not impossible, when lengths close in on 15 nm. Already, attention has turned ...
