Eon is latest memory chip maker to adopt the Laker Custom Digital Router for fast, more efficient design of NOR Flash products HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 11, 2011 — SpringSoft, Inc. (TAIEX: 2473), a ...

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 ...

For the most part, we’ve all been doing integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) layout the same way for decades. Designers put together the design, be it intellectual property (IP), block, or ...

For decades, analog and digital engineers have lived in completely separate worlds. The lines are blurring between those worlds, though, in complex SoCs. So far, the transition has been difficult, and ...

The other day, a reader was surprised when I claimed that anyone could design and manufacture a custom analog IC for about $3,000. I suppose it does seem hard to believe, but it's true. I've done it a ...

The technology aims for significant reduction of microchip’s layout design cycle; particularly, in advanced nanometer ranges, 7nm and below, enabling faster chip’s design and manufacturing cycle SAN ...

As the complexity of IC designs continues to grow, moving critical checks earlier in the design cycle helps designers identify and resolve issues before they escalate, streamlining the overall ...

In our last post, we looked at the basics of finFET technology and how its increased complexity and constraints influence layout design choices. In this post, we’ll look at more advanced technology ...
