FeaturePeek, a member of the Y Combinator Summer 2019 cohort, wants to change the way companies review front-end interfaces. Instead of kludging together reviews with screenshots or involving product ...

For better ICs and faster time-to-market, start with a common constraint and hierarchy strategy. Today, the success or failure of an advanced IC design depends largely on how smoothly it traverses the ...

Building a front-end for business applications is often a matter of reinventing the wheel, but because every business’ needs are slightly different, it’s also hard to automate. Kleeen is the latest ...

As high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology improves, so does the need to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the ...

We are used to thinking of the IC design flow in terms of two phases: a front-end and a back-end. We make the gate-level netlist the dividing line. What comes before is front-end: it is about the ...

System requirements for broad bandwidth, millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, phased arrays, and integrated antennas and front-ends are evolving. The challenge for engineers will be achieving the cost, ...
