In the nanometer era, die areas are getting larger as the designs are getting more and more complex. In order to ensure the correctness of the implemented design, bigger layout databases needs to be ...

In ASIC physical implementation, once layout is generated, it must follow all the design rules for successful manufacturing and must match the schematic of the required design. To ensure this in ...

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

When I saw this year’s Supercon Vectorscope badge, I decided that I had to build one for myself. Since I couldn’t attend in-person, I immediately got the PCBs and parts on order. Noting that the ...

Cypress Semiconductor delivers provides a number of software development tools for its PSoC line of processors. These tools tend to a be a little more sophisticated than conventional IDEs because of ...

Several browser-based PCB design tools have emerged in the past couple of years, yet the vast majority of designers are still using the same desktop applications that have dominated the EDA industry ...
