Electricity flow is generally invisible, silent, and not something that most humans want to touch, so understanding how charge moves around can be fairly unintuitive at first. There are plenty of ...

Logic Gates are among the important components of a circuit. All the logical operations required to perform a particular task in an electronic circuit are carried by these logic gates. If you are an ...

An update to the company’s free Spice circuit simulation software LTspice/SwitcherCAD III, LTspice IV features multithreaded solvers designed to better use current multicore processors. Also included ...

My old chum Alvin (who co-authored Bebop BYTES Back and How Computers Do Math with me) just emailed me to say that he is really impressed with an iPad app called iCircuit. In his own words: iCircuit ...

Most companies used to be concerned that models would reveal their secret intellectual property (IP). But now that it’s possible to encode the details, most analog semiconductor companies provide ...

This item would normally be placed in my RF Shorts section, but due to its usefulness for a wide range of readers, I wanted to make sure my readers noticed there is now an Internet site that allows ...

The original circuit simulation software, called the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis, or SPICE as it is more commonly known, was originally developed at the University of ...

Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation ...

Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...
