The development of electric vehicles (EVs) is key to transitioning to sustainable transportation. However, designing high-performance EVs presents significant challenges, particularly in power module design. Power modules, including inverters, bulky DC capacitors, power management ICs (PMICs), and battery packs, … Read More
One of the most promising advancements in the semiconductor field is the development of 3D Integrated Circuits (3D ICs). 3D ICs enable companies to partition semiconductor designs and seamlessly integrate silicon Intellectual Property (IP) at the most suitable process nodes and processes. This strategic partitioning yields… Read More
In previous design generations interconnect could safely be modeled by extraction using just R and C values. Parasitics in interconnect are important because they can affect the operating frequency or phase error in circuits like VCO’s. The need to model parasitics properly in wires is just as applicable in PA’s, LNA’s and for… Read More
