In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks. TinyTapeout offers a course that ...

As integrated circuit (IC) designs have grown in complexity, scale and speed requirements, design rule checking (DRC) has evolved from a routine step into a critical pillar of successful tapeouts.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of ...

How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...

3D IC chiplet-based heterogeneous package integration represents the next major evolution in semiconductor design. It allows us to continue scaling system performance despite the physical limitationA ...

The mainstream adoption of 3D-IC has become a question mark due to critical challenges ranging from early-stage chip designs to 3D assembly exploration to final design signoff. A new EDA tool claims ...

The market for edge AI computing devices is poised to enter a period of expansion, according to sources at IC design houses. As the edge AI sector continues to develop, figuring out how all types of ...
