It is a rewarding experience for EDA developers and users to collaborate on deploying advanced techniques to improve design productivity. This blog will describe the experience of collaborating with ...

As we all know, the back-end design of layout implementation known as integrated circuit (IC) layout — is simplistically divided into ASIC-style flow and full-custom flow. This article will try to ...

As we work through the sub-20 nm design space, the interactions between and effects on devices that are near each other are becoming critical factors in achieving the desired electrical performance.

The level of automation applied to analog design has never approached the level enjoyed by digital designers. For years designers have iterated through schematic entry, physical layout, parasitic ...

The design teams typically invest years and numerous iterations to validate IP and produce a functioning chip. Once this validation is complete, they create derivatives of the silicon-proven IP, often ...
