Fast growing markets like 5G, biotechnology, AI, and automotive are driving the new wave in semiconductor design and the need for highly integrated system on chip (SoCs). Power management, sensors, RF ...

We are rapidly approaching a future where 5G telecommunications will be the norm. With its increased data speeds and bandwidth, 5G has the potential to change the way we live our lives. But what does ...

Traditionally, post-layout parasitic extraction has treated device and interconnect models separately. That paradigm falls apart partially at 90-nm geometries and more fully at 65-nm geometries, where ...

Ever since the idea of building electronic systems using integrated circuits (ICs) was born in 1949, technology has evolved swiftly. Moving from small to very-large-scale integration, transistor count ...

Achieving design closure in a system-on-a-chip (SoC) development project generally requires a great deal of patience. SoCs tend to include more and more custom circuitry, which means long simulation ...

The popularity of touchscreens is growing rapidly as they become an integral part of smartphones, tablets, automobiles, and even consumer appliances. Touchscreens remove the need for peripheral ...
