There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

I had met Professor Franco when I attended, for the first time, the Analog Aficionados dinner which Jim Williams had as an annual event in California. I was immediately drawn to him as I saw him ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulsic, the premier provider of custom physical design tools for precision automation of analog/mixed-signal designs, today announced Animate Preview, a new product ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

Understanding the mechanisms that affect the performance of high-speed signal chain designs is imperative. Some examples are IC grounding, decoupling and plane capacitance, plane coupling, and ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

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 ...

C&D Technologies has introduced a miniature, high-speed, stand-alone, sample-hold amplifier designed to provide highly accurate capture and hold of fast signals and pulses in a wide range of analog ...
