Santa Clara, Calif. — Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. has introduced a 64-bit version of its Analog FastSPICE circuit simulator, which the company says delivers true SPICE accuracy on greater than 1M ...

In the fantasy world of schematic diagrams, wires have no resistance and square waves have infinitely sharp rise times. The real world, of course, is much crueler. There are many things you can use to ...

Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--Magma(R) Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), a provider of semiconductor design software, today announced the availability of FineSim(R) Pro, the ...

Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Dr. Lianfeng Yang, Vice President of Marketing, ProPlus Design Solutions Circuit simulators are among the most ...

Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

The 2N2222 and BC549 transistors are two old components that are still universally used in the vast majority of electrical circuits today. Their applications include amplifiers, filters, impedance ...

My research projects in the area of nonlinear systems deal with finding dc operating points, steady state, and transient responses of electronic circuits. These are essential tasks in electrical ...
