As system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs exploit process technologies at 180nm and below, these high-speed circuits increasingly exhibit nondigital behavior, including cross-coupling noise, inductance ...

Accelerant Networks is a developer of high-integration ICs that allow rapid development of intelligent, high-speed backplane connection systems. To avoid signal integrity problems, the Accelerant ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.
