Many of you are familiar with the circuits and components developed by Bob Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology Corp, and the late Jim Williams, Staff Scientist at LTC, along with others from LTC. Their ...

I was at Burr-Brown in 1988 and I knew Mark Stitt well. He was a mentor to me and I was devastated at his untimely death. He had written an amazing Burr-Brown Current Source app note 1 that I have ...

In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

There is no doubt that the challenge of designing analog integrated circuits gets more intense every day. Market demand and price pressures for end products reduce the design time . Add to that ...

Tool developers have been working to keep pace with these requirements. For example, Synopsys has delivered faster circuit simulation performance every year, with improvements in both single core ...
