At one time the boundaries between analog and digital designs were clearly defined. As the complexity and performance levels of systems have increased, maintaining those boundaries has become more ...

A small amount of on-chip analog-test hardware offers big payoffs when you are dealing with high-speed serial interfaces. As part of the serial-interface IP (intellectual property) or of an IP wrapper ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...
