At one time the boundaries between analog and digital designs were clearly defined. As the complexity and performance levels of systems have increased, maintaining those boundaries has become more ...

A small amount of on-chip analog-test hardware offers big payoffs when you are dealing with high-speed serial interfaces. As part of the serial-interface IP (intellectual property) or of an IP wrapper ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...

Due to efficiency, quality, and cost, digital communications systems play a major role in telecommunications, especially wireless services. With most digital modulation schemes represented as in-phase ...
