This Diakopto paper discusses for the first time, a new effect – a false electrical mismatch in post-layout simulations for perfectly symmetric nets. This effect is caused by the difference in distributions of parasitic coupling capacitors over the nodes of parasitic resistor networks, even for symmetric nets. This, in turn,… Read More
The design and characterization of RF circuits is a complex process that requires an RF designer to overcome a variety of challenges. Not only do they face the complexities posed by advanced semiconductor processes and the need to meet the demanding requirements of modern wireless standards, designers must also account for electromagnetic… Read More
I decided to attend a webinar today hosted by Synopsys, “Streamline Your PrimeTime ECO Flow For Fastest Setup, Hold and Timing DRC Closure.” The format was to present slides first then hold for questions until the end. Enough time was spent on questions which made this webinar different than most other webinars I’ve… Read More
