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 ...

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.

For design teams adopting 3D-IC architectures, the relentless pursuit of performance and reliability brings a familiar, yet increasingly complex, set of challenges: how do we manage power, dissipate ...

The semiconductor industry is at a pivotal moment as the limits of Moore’s Law motivate a transition to three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) technology. By vertically integrating multiple ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
