The most important part of the analog EDA flow is the accuracy of the device models (both active and passive devices) and the inclusion of all relevant junction parasitics. This is understandable, ...

The eight main classes of general-purpose analog ICs are:- ADCs (analog-digital converters); amplifiers; analog switches; comparators; DACs (digital-analog converters); various RF circuits including ...

Analog circuits are used to amplify, process and filter analog signals and convert them to digital signals, or vice versa, so the real world and electronic devices can talk to each other.

A DCP (digital-CMOS process) optimizes logic functions, including switching speed, low-voltage power supplies, submicron geometry, and high component density. Considerations that address analog and ...

They are directly applicable to circuits that rely on matching, such as pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and successive-approximation register (SAR) ADCs.

The move toward multi-die assemblies and the increasing value of sensor data at the edge are beginning to focus attention and raise questions about security in analog circuits. In most SoC designs ...

Analog-multiplier integrated circuits find homes in many applications, e.g., delivering an RMS converter. General-purpose analog-multiplier ICs often incorporate attenuators or even amplifiers at ...

When the world's first commercially available audio product using a digital amplifier appeared in 1998, it created quite a stir with its performance and ease of use. Digital amplifiers provide several ...

Circuit sensitivity defined A simple, if imprecise, definition of circuit sensitivity is how much a particular circuit characteristic changes as a particular component value varies. This can be any ...

The output of the counter is used as an address for a demultiplexer that simply drives a row of LEDs. The circuit simply strobes the LEDs in order—a simple but effective demonstration. So far, you've ...
