Low power design has become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit development, driven by energy efficiency demands and the challenges of scaling in nanometre technologies. Innovations in ...

In recent years we have begun to see references to “RF” CMOS processes and to “RF” models for those processes. This article will explore what the real meanings of such “RF” designations are, and what ...

Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple design domains involved. But, creating an edge device that combines the electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a ...

The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX.

MEMS-based component suppliers want to rapidly ramp their designs into high-volume production. This demand is driving MEMS suppliers to focus on ways to more efficiently re-use established process ...

If the Wireless LAN market is still growing, Wireless LAN solutions are already in a cost reduction phase. Conceiving WLAN solutions nowadays requires a high-level approach where the final chipset may ...

One of the few non-CMOS circuits left in wireless devices like cell phones these days is the power amplifier (PA). Most wireless radios use gallium-arsenide (GaAs) bipolar PAs, which up to now have ...

What’s going on inside the latest cameras has a lot to say about the state of the art in digital imagers. This report offers tear-down analyses of CMOS image sensors (CISs) in mobile phones and ...

SEMIFIVE, a leading global provider of custom AI semiconductor (ASIC) design solutions, announced today that it has signed a strategic MOU with SAPIEN Semiconductors, a company specializing in ...
