The Mach42 platform enables rapid validation of design performance across varying spec conditions, supporting efficient IP reuse. Utilizes Cadence's Spectre Simulation Platform (Nasdaq; CDNS), the ...

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...

Abstract: This paper presents a 130 GBaud four-to-one analog multiplexer (AMUX) with four-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS process. The architecture comprises two ...

An application needs a multiplexer if it calls for a device with multiple inputs and a single output. A switch can be used if there is a need for one input per output. Analog switches and multiplexers ...

A new wave of startups is rising to meet the growing need for specialized analog customization in chip design projects, opening the door to more affordable custom designs. These startups are breathing ...

[Stoppi] always has exciting projects and, as you can see in the video below, the latest one is a very simple magnetic levitator design. The design is classic and simple: a 5 V regulator IC, a Hall ...

Engineering design is often largely about the tradeoffs among the approaches to solving various challenges while meeting overall project objectives. These tradeoffs may be global such as balancing ...

Back in September this year, I wrote a blog on analog computing for AI applications. This followed from ongoing efforts by a few organizations to use analog computing hardware and systems in a ...
