As the popularity of portable electronics, “smart devices”, and automotive electronics keeps increasing, so does the need for analog functions to be embedded in ICs. This drives the demand for ...
This will help Certus strengthen position as leader in IO library, ESD and analog IP, and enable the development of ...
Integrated circuit (IC) design reliability has always been important and essential to market success. After all, if no one could count on your product to operate as designed, and for as long as ...
Design of power/driver ICs in compliance with latchup qualification requirements involves a conceptually different approach in comparison with digital LV (low voltage) ICs. The LV ICs’ electrostatic ...
The effect of low ESD immunity on a new product introduction can be both obvious and subtle. Manufacturing and test facilities adhere to ANSI standards for ESD protection and handling of chips based ...
As the semiconductor industry transitions to finFETs, reliability challenges are increasing. ESD designers are challenged with new issues that would require significant rethinking and redesign of ...
We’ve analyzed inputs, signal processing, and clocks and used the analysis to put together a workable soundbar design (see http://electronicdesign.com/author/36602 ...
Digital design is, of necessity, performed at a very high level of abstraction. When dealing with millions to hundreds of millions of transistors, working at the transistor level is completely ...
