Saying that advanced ICs are complex is an understatement. The seemingly endless progression to smaller geometries, the ever-increasing integration between analog and digital blocks, and the ...

Electronic system designs often include transient protection to ensure system robustness for electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. Adding external ESD protection without compromising system I/O speed, ...

Santa Clara, Calif. — As the EDA industry focuses on design-for-manufacturability (DFM), the older problem of design-for-test has almost been forgotten. But ICs built at 90 nanometers and below pose ...

The standard approach in industry for post-manufacturing testing of mixed-signal circuits is to measure the performances that are included in the data sheet. Despite being accurate and straightforward ...

Sigurd Microelectronics, which specializes in wafer probing and final testing of ICs, expects to enjoy growing revenue generated from orders for automotive chips including networking ICs and MCUs in ...
