Test Driving Analog/Mixed Signal Design for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating urgent demand for a new generation of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) designs, some of which also contain MEMs. To efficiently create the myriad of AMS devices at the edge of the IoT requires a design environment that is affordable and easy to use, but powerful enough to create the widely diverse… Read More
How to design silicon photonics–take this class!
Silicon Photonics is the hottest prospect for blazing fast communication between chips in servers, data centers, and supercomputers.
By using light instead of electrical signals, it promise to usher in a new standard of high performance, low power devices while extending the use of more mature process nodes, helping to reduce… Read More
