WEBINAR: Elevate Your Analog Layout Design to New Heights

WEBINAR: Elevate Your Analog Layout Design to New Heights
by Daniel Payne on 11-26-2024 at 10:00 am

learning analog ic layout min

Analog IC layout is a demanding endeavor as it entails conforming to complex layout design rules, interpreting design intentions from the schematics and understanding arcane topics like transistor matching, noise tolerance, parasitics and latch up. These skills are often handed down from one generation to the next, one on … Read More


IC Layout Symmetry Challenges

IC Layout Symmetry Challenges
by Daniel Payne on 08-29-2022 at 10:00 am

1D symmetry

Many types of designs, including analog designs, MEMs, and image sensors, require electrically matched configurations. This symmetry has a huge impact on the robustness of the design across process variations, and its performance. Having an electrically matched layout basically means having a symmetric layout. To check … Read More

Early parasitics estimation for analog design

You may have noticed that I have been writing a lot more about analog design lately. This is no accident. Analog and custom blocks are increasingly important because of the critical role they play in enabling many classes of systems, such as automotive, networking, wireless, mobile, cloud, etc.  Many of the SoCs needed for these… Read More

Advanced Monte Carlo Methods

There is an old saying popularized by Mark Twain that goes “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” It turns out that no one can say who originated this saying, yet despite however you might feel about statistics, they play an important role in verifying analog designs. The truth is that there are large numbers… Read More
