The size and cost of many devices, such as cell phones, pagers and portable digital assistants, can be reduced by taking advantage of cell libraries to integrate additional functions onto BiCMOS ...

As electronic systems grow increasingly complex and energy-intensive, traditional power management methods — centered on centralized systems and external components — are proving inadequate. The next ...

The design of modern Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Systems on a Chip (SoCs) in advanced process nodes can be differentiated by the on-die integration of analog functions, such ...

AMI Semiconductor has teamed with European research center IMEC to develop the mixed-signal and digital products manufacturer’s future Smart Power integration technologies. The two-year collaboration ...

The rapid acceleration of semiconductor technologies is creating system-on-chip (SoC) devices that are increasingly complex. These chips contain billions of transistors and hundreds of functional ...

The idea that more functionality can be added into a single chip, or even into a single system, is falling out of vogue. For an increasing number of applications, it’s no longer considered the best ...
