By Slava Zhuchenya In the world of semiconductors, creating and verifying IC designs is no cakewalk. It’s a complex dance that involves a bunch of tools and simulations. Design companies rely on electronic design automation (EDA) tools to put IC designs through their paces before hitting the manufacturing line. These EDA tools are used to check if everything’s in order, from design rules to circuit layouts, ensuring that these intricate chips work as intended. Diving into the

By Stephen Chavez In the world of PCB design, PCB routing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency and functionality of electronic circuits. Let’s explore the various PCB routing techniques, and shed some light on interactive routing, auto routing, and the empowering realm of sketch routing. Interactive routing: mouse-driven precision Interactive routing, the standard approach adopted by PCB designers across various PCB design tools, involves meticulous control over t

By Roger Kang How do you run transistor-level electromigration and voltage drop (EMIR) analysis—command line or an interactive invocation GUI? Does your layout designer have to wait for circuit designers to provide EMIR results and guidance before fixing any violations, and then iterate over and over until all EMIR violations are fixed? Maybe you’d prefer a new approach? How about one that lets layout designers deliver a high quality layout with no design rule checking (DRC),

龔明鑫：亞洲．矽谷方案未來將邁向3.0階段 展現台灣物聯網與5G實力 國發會主委龔明鑫致詞時表示，2016年在施振榮先生的號召之下，亞洲．矽谷物聯網產業⼤聯盟成立，現在看到數位轉型需求非常熱門，也算是超前部屬；而且聯盟會員持續成長，今年已來到435家，並且物聯網發展與應用也...

By Matt Walsh Let’s delve into the challenges that electronic systems development organizations face and how an integrated part research solution, such as PartQuest Portal, can help streamline the design process, making it faster and more efficient. Challenges in electronics development Electronic systems development organizations are no strangers to complex challenges. Tight deadlines, resource limitations, the aspiration for first-pass success, and productivity hurdles coll

By Ritu Walia Imagine this: You primarily work on the design of a sub-block of an application-specific layout design, or perhaps an intellectual property (IP) block for a system-on-chip (SoC). You’ve designed your block, and it’s ready for the SoC team. As you work hand-in-hand with the team striving to deliver the SoC within the (forever) limited time-to-market window, you face a multitude of challenges—complex design rule checking (DRC), iterative debugging, combined with t

有關國家核心關鍵技術清單，旨在確保國家安全與產業競爭優勢，針對涉及國家核心關鍵技術之營業秘密加強保護，避免非法外流至國外造成國家與產業利益受侵害，並不影響合法商業行為及技術交流。國科會及各相關部會後續將配合技術發展的變動，持續廣納意見，預計將於三個月後滾動檢討。...

By Stephen Chavez What is electrical/electronic co-design? Circuit boards don’t work in isolation, they usually interface with other circuit boards via connectors, cables or harnesses. Electrical/electronic co-design is the integrated collaboration between these disciplines. This way, your entire hardware design from multi board electronic system specification to completed PCBs and cables can be handled within one integrated flow. What’s not working? Full systems design is us
