The latest version of Cadence Design System’s Encounter digital IC design platform includes chip optimisation, mixed-signal support for very large 65nm-and-below designs, and diagonal routing using ...

Designed a 3-bit multi modulus programmable divider (MMD) using 2/3 cells. Implemented and verified both in analog and digital designs. For analog design, the schematic layout was captured using ...

For the most part, we’ve all been doing integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) layout the same way for decades. Designers put together the design, be it intellectual property (IP), block, or ...

Skilled engineers remain the driving force for innovation in chips. But it’s no secret that electronic design automation (EDA) companies are folding AI into more of their offerings to speed up design ...

The AI revolution is driving change in how we design and manufacture everything from data centers to servers and chips. Even what we consider a chip is changing from the integration of analog circuits ...

As integrated circuit (IC) designs have grown in complexity, scale and speed requirements, design rule checking (DRC) has evolved from a routine step into a critical pillar of successful tapeouts.

For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates ...

In 2022, the overall revenue of the global IC design industry reached US$215.4 billion. Among them, the US IC design sector is the largest in scale, with a 63% market share and revenue of over US$130 ...
