We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that can do ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

I was doing some reminiscing about my college days and comparing to what is being taught today. One of the things that I clearly see is that schools focus more on the digital side of electronic design ...

How does cold milk disperse when it is dripped into hot coffee? Even the fastest supercomputers are unable to perform the necessary calculations with high precision because the underlying quantum ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

Part 3: Thermistor SPICE Models Make Sense With Older ICs, but What About a Newer One, Such as the LTC1041? It’s with a somewhat provocative title that we begin the third and last installment in this ...

Update: We are resurfacing this feature from 2014 for your reading pleasure on this holiday weekend. The USS Zumwalt, the latest destroyer now undergoing acceptance trials, comes with a new type of ...

ADI is also rolling out early versions of two new web-based tools with a modernized user experience under the Power Studio umbrella: ADI Power Studio Planner: The next-generation, web-based tool for ...
