Industry analyst firm Databeans cites 30% growth in the $42 billion analog integrated circuit (IC) market for 2010. While this represents only approximately 14% of the entire global semiconductor ...

Transistor-precision design”design of analog, mixed-signal and custom integrated circuits”is not easy. The traditional methodology is a very manual, iterative process of an engineer repeating lengthy ...

Various analog design automation attempts have addressed the shortcomings of the still largely manual and, thus, inefficient and risky analog design approach. These methods can roughly be divided into ...

Without the development of standard-cell libraries and, subsequently, logic synthesis in the 1980s, the design of today's multimillion-gate SoCs and ASICs would be problematic, if not outright ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software introduced a new tool called Tessent AnalogTest that helps simplify and accelerate the testing of analog and mixed-signal circuits — a long-standing bottleneck in ...
