Competitiveness at the edge depends critically on multiple factors. Functionality of course but also low power and connectivity through one or more standards: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, UWB, NB-IoT, 5G and more. All ideally integrated into one SoC for significant margin advantage at volume. Advantages of this kind separate market leaders from low margin options. But you can’t build that differentiation with off-the-shelf chips. This lead can only come through custom hardware design. Hardware which requires a lot of specialized expertise – in SoC design, in Wireless IC design, RF integrati ..read more

Cascode amplifiers are one of the most useful tools in an analog designer's toolkit. They have high input impedance, high gain, and operate over a wide frequency range. They are helpful for almost any application that requires high impedance broadband amplification and are frequently used in RF circuits for tuning, modulation, and amplification ..read more

In a persistent trend, shrinking IC geometries and higher levels of integration are leading to SoCs packed with increasingly more functionality over time. Much of this functionality is implemented in software running on systems with ever more complex architectures. This creates validation problems that go beyond RTL verification. Software functionality and performance must also be validated, prior to tape-out. Failure to validate the software in the system context can result in costly surprises during post-silicon validation. Unfortunately, traditional RTL simulation tools are not fast enough ..read more
