Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple design domains involved. But, creating an edge device that combines the electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a ...

In recent years we have begun to see references to “RF” CMOS processes and to “RF” models for those processes. This article will explore what the real meanings of such “RF” designations are, and what ...

It was suggested during the early 1990’s that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were slowly becoming extinct and therefore were considered as ‘technological dinosaurs’ 1. Furthermore, in 2015 the Sony ...

The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX.

Technologists describe a straight port of an existing bulk CMOS design to FD-SOI at the same node, obtaining the value of fully depleted SOI for a modest redesign effort. November 16th, 2012 - By: ...

If the Wireless LAN market is still growing, Wireless LAN solutions are already in a cost reduction phase. Conceiving WLAN solutions nowadays requires a high-level approach where the final chipset may ...

One of the few non-CMOS circuits left in wireless devices like cell phones these days is the power amplifier (PA). Most wireless radios use gallium-arsenide (GaAs) bipolar PAs, which up to now have ...

The demand for power-sensitive design has grown significantly in recent years due to tremendous growth in portable applications. Consequently, the need for power efficient design techniques has grown ...

SEMIFIVE, a leading global provider of custom AI semiconductor (ASIC) design solutions, announced today that it has signed a strategic MOU with SAPIEN Semiconductors, a company specializing in ...
