Spirea AB is a Swedish fabless semiconductor company developing highly integrated low-power, low-cost radio solutions for the Wireless LAN and PAN markets. This article describes how we assembled a ...

This paper presents a digital design flow in order to design high performance differential Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits efficiently. The proposed flow is similar to the ordinary digital CMOS ...

Logical- and physical-synthesis tools have revolutionized digital-ASIC design over the past decade, increasing chip functions and designer productivity. However, many of today's SOC (system-on-chip) ...

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 ...

Modelling inductances in RF ICs, and integrating their synthesis into a comprehensive design flow in CMOS, is key to multimode wireless devices at reasonable cost. However, tools to do this have been ...

Commoditization has led to a complete ecosystem for MEMs, lowering the barrier for entry and opening up new manufacturing and integration options. I recently gave an invited talk at the IEEE Inertial ...

SuVolta has revealed a bit more about their Deeply Depleted Channel (DDC) low power, CMOS transistor technology designed for embedded SoCs (System-on-chip). SuVolta's PowerShrink transistor (see DDC ...
