In the analog/mixed-signal (AMS) arena, automated design of advanced ICs has long remained an objective rather than a reality. For the AMS design expert, automated tools have too often seemed to ...

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

Exact part location and minimal clearances seem like the Holy Grail of precision mechanical systems. But insisting on the slimmest tolerances can make assembly and disassembly difficult. Assembly ...

Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.

The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint ...
