I was doing some reminiscing about my college days and comparing to what is being taught today. One of the things that I clearly see is that schools focus more on the digital side of electronic design ...

We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

The growth in safety-critical applications has ushered in a paradigm shift in automotive IC functional safety and test coverage analysis. The increased need for safety, low defect rate, and long-term ...

In January, I reviewed the Dennis Fitzpatrick book Analog Design and Simulation using OrCAD Capture and PSpice for EDN. I've also provided three excerpts from the book for EDN (Here’s the third, ...

Analog Simulation of Digital Controllers One of the most popular programs for simulating analog circuits is Spice. Advantages of this program include decades of validated operation with countless ...

My, have times changed. I remember when I first started out as a green analog designer right out of college, we would cut rubylith masking film on a large light table representing the different layers ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Oct. 23, 2018 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced major advances in its FineSim ® SPICE circuit simulator for analog design. The FineSim SPICE 2018.09 release ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Nassda Corp. and Ansoft Corp. will announce new versions of their respective analog tool sets this week that offer higher simulation capacity and speed than Spice, the companies said.

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

Physicists have invented a new type of analogue quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. New research published in Nature ...
