However, for analog layout, techniques are still much the same as they were years ago. True, there have been some improvements such as using parameterized cells to generate Design Rule Check (DRC) ...

The previous blog looked at some of the structures in an analog circuit that are implied by the schematic, but not specified in detail. Key examples of this are well, taps and guard rings. These ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

There has been vast progress over the last 30 years or so in digital layout automation, making it possible to develop complex digital ICs relatively quickly. However, for analog layout, techniques are ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulsic, the premier provider of custom physical design tools for precision automation of analog/mixed-signal designs, today announced Animate Preview, a new product ...

Greater amounts of RF and analog/mixed-signal circuitry are wending their way into SoC designs, often producing headaches for designers on a number of levels. First off, analog is just plain hard to ...

Astrus, a Canada-based startup focusing on analog IC design automation, is aspiring to revolutionize the global chip design industry by leveraging recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI).
