Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...
Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...
Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...
Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...
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 ...
As it turns out, the answer is not 42, it’s 42.3 — thousand. That’s how many discrete transistors spread across the 30 m 2 room housing this massive computation machine. [James Newman’s] Megaprocessor ...
WE have considered in some detail the problem of using germanium and silicon transistors as choppers in thermocouple-amplifier and other low- and medium-impedance applications. In the past, several ...
This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Dr. Lianfeng Yang, Vice President of Marketing, ProPlus Design Solutions Circuit simulators are among the most ...
Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...
