Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

EIM Technologies' Kickstarter campaign ended on April 16, 2025, reaching ~$108,000 in pledges. The book and associated kits can now be ordered from EIM directly, with details below. EIM used ...

Ground loops can degrade circuit performance and ruin your day. Follow these tips to prevent them from occurring in circuits ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Those looking for a brouhaha at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference almost got one Monday (Feb. 4) as technologists debated the future ...

Foundries and packaging houses are wrestling how to control heat in the testing phase, particularly as devices continue to shrink and as thermally sensitive analog circuits are added into SoCs and ...

Failure rate or base failure rate refers to the number of failures per unit of time, typically in terms of failures in time (FITs) equivalent to one failure in a billion hours, which can be expected ...

We live in a noisy world. The noise can be self-induced, like an intrusive, buzzing alarm clock that gets us up to start the day. Or it can be natural noise, like chirping from a bird, or human-made ...

We live in an analog world of continuous information flow that is both processed and stored by our brains at the same time, but our devices process information digitally in the form of discrete binary ...

A Nature paper describes an innovative analog in-memory computing (IMC) architecture tailored for the attention mechanism in large language models (LLMs). They want to drastically reduce latency and ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.
