A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

The design teams typically invest years and numerous iterations to validate IP and produce a functioning chip. Once this validation is complete, they create derivatives of the silicon-proven IP, often ...

Unconventional metal structures have begun popping up in integrated circuits (ICs) with increasing regularity, for a number of reasons. The growing demand for integrated cameras and image recognition ...

The terms "organization structure and design" and "organization architecture," while sounding similar, actually have very different meanings. The first term refers to structure in a metaphorical way ...
