Abstract: This tutorial discusses proper printed-circuit board (PCB) grounding for mixed-signal designs. For most applications a simple method without cuts in the ground plane allows for successful ...

Cirrus Logic, a publicly traded chip maker focused on mixed-signal processing, is celebrating its 40th birthday. Over the past four decades, Cirrus Logic has consistently pushed the boundaries of ...

The latest smart power semiconductor technology from Motorola Semiconductor (Tempe, AZ)–called SMARTMOS8 Medium Voltage–allows power analog and digital logic functions to be manufactured on a single ...

Cirrus Logic is a fabless semiconductor provider, meaning it designs chips but outsources manufacturing. Its main focus is on audio components such as amplifiers and codecs, used in devices like ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

Silicon photonics is rewiring the future of data centers. But engineers need more advanced simulation tools to integrate these light-slinging components with electronics. How silicon photonics ...

Analog Devices’ ADI consumer segment grew 21% year over year due to traction across handsets, gaming, hearables and wearables categories. As ADI develops analog, digital, mixed signal processors and ...

Several years ago, analog and mixed signal (AMS) content hit a wall. Its contribution to first-time chip failure doubled, and there is no evidence that anything has improved dramatically since then.

In the first of a multi-part series on how to design a custom chip for under $1,000, our Analog Editor gets you started with a Magnificent 7 list of textbooks. TinyTapeout offers a course that ...

(Reuters) -Apple supplier Skyworks Solutions forecast fourth-quarter revenue and profit above Wall Street expectations on Tuesday, benefiting from steady demand for its analog chips amid economic ...

Non-GAAP earnings per share reached $1.51, surpassing the $1.01 non-GAAP consensus estimate. Revenue (GAAP) grew to $407.272 million and topping estimates for non-GAAP EPS and GAAP revenue. Free cash ...
