In Part 1, it was explained that the SPICE simulation tool allows you to analyze the behavior of electronic circuits in precise detail. This installment will analyze the RC time constant, which ...

The original circuit simulation software, called the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis, or SPICE as it is more commonly known, was originally developed at the University of ...

The key to obtaining the best performance on your successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is optimizing the driver amplifier and resistor-capacitor (RC) filter ...

Driven by the explosion of big data and expanding applications, chip design complexity is increasing. Applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive, ...

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 ...
