Analog and mixed signal content is adding risk to ASIC designs. Pessimists see the problem getting worse, while optimists point to AI and chiplets for relief.

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) represent the gateway between the digital domain and the real world. As the name suggests, a DAC is an electronic component that converts digital data, typically ...

The analog-based timing semiconductor world, comprising crystals and phase-lock loops (PLLs), is facing a conundrum. While crystals provide higher performance at lower frequencies, PLLs accommodate ...

The ADHV4710 op amp operates on dual supplies from ±12 to ±55 V, delivering output current of ±100 mA at the higher voltages. A ±1,300-V/μs output slew rate into capacitive loads up to 1 nF ...

A pipelined, 5-Msample/s, 9-b analog-to-digital converter with digital correction has been designed and fabricated in 3-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. It requires 8500 mil/SUP 2/, consumes 180 mW, and has ...
