[Jean-Francois Debroux] spent 35 years designing analog ASICs. He’s started a book and while it isn’t finished — indeed he says it may never be — the 180 pages he posted on LinkedIn are a pretty good ...

Pakistan has taken another step toward building its semiconductor workforce as Ignite, working under the Ministry of ...

In the realm of high-performance IC (integrated circuit) design, symmetry is not just an aesthetic preference—it’s a critical factor for ensuring proper device functionality, especially in analog and ...

The landscape of IC design is experiencing a profound transformation. With the physical and economic limits of conventional two-dimensional scaling, the industry is rapidly embracing three-dimensional ...

Advancements in technology have led to the development of increasingly complex and densely integrated circuits (ICs). To keep up with the ever-growing demand for high-performance and power-efficient ...

The global semiconductor market reached US$575.1 billion in 2022, but the figure only covers the IC design and IDM sectors. The entire semiconductor value chain should come close to... Taiwan's IC ...

Taiwanese power management IC (PMIC) design houses have been expanding into new applications and broadening their product ...

One cannot imagine the world now and in the future without integrated circuits (IC or generally known as chips). With worldwide revenue projected to be about $500 billion by the end of 2019, the chip ...

We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat limited.

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 ...

The process of designing, manufacturing, and testing ICs is complex and exhaustive. The main contributors are the design and verification teams, IP vendors, and IC manufacturers. The process of ...

As IC design complexity and sensitivity rises and operating voltages fall, the use of constant (average) chip temperature models can lead to over-design or multiple design spins. The variation in ...
