The continuing advancements in semiconductor technology have led to production flows for 130nm, 90nm and below, enabling 40 million-plus gate chips to be reliably manufactured. This article explores ...

The different IBIS quality levels. The steps in the IBIS bench measurement procedure. Process for Quality Level 2a and Level 2b validation. The Input/Output Buffer Information Specification (IBIS) is ...

In 2008, the American Institute of Architects released its first BIM contract document—AIA E202 Building Information Modeling Protocol Exhibit—which outlined five “levels of development” (LOD 100-500) ...

Power is becoming a more important aspect of semiconductor design, but without an industry standard for power models, adoption is likely to be slow and fragmented. That is why Si2 and the IEEE decided ...

Native SPICE elements that accurately replicate an op amp’s real-world behavior were nonexistent. A transconductance sourcing current from the rails and transitioning to a resistive state as the ...
