IMEC is presenting a 60GHz front-end receive chain, phase-locked loop and power amplifier in 45nm digital CMOS technology at the International Solid State Circuits Conference. These building blocks ...
In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...
Analog vs. Digital: What’s the Difference? Air temperature, sound loudness,light intensity—in nature, all of these quantities vary smoothly and continuously over a range. Such quantities is called ...
Low-voltage CMOS analog circuit design has emerged as a critical area of research, driven by the dual imperatives of energy efficiency and high-performance signal processing. This discipline focuses ...
Today’s consumer, communication, and computer electronic devices have clocks, communication interfaces, and high-speed signal-conditioning circuits that operate at radio frequencies (RF). Providing ...
Digital transition switching is the primary cause of noise in mixed-signal devices. Signal noise and immunity to power, ground, and substrate noise all benefit from using differential circuits. Design ...
In the latest CHIIPs podcast, Thomas Andersen, vice president for AI and machine learning at Synopsys, shatters the threat of AI for design engineering jobs as he discusses the use of AI by the EDA ...
Sophisticated smart meters use IC technology to accurately measure and report power consumption. A primary concern in smart meter design is measurement data integrity. The most effective solution to ...
