FeaturePeek, a member of the Y Combinator Summer 2019 cohort, wants to change the way companies review front-end interfaces. Instead of kludging together reviews with screenshots or involving product ...

For better ICs and faster time-to-market, start with a common constraint and hierarchy strategy. Today, the success or failure of an advanced IC design depends largely on how smoothly it traverses the ...

Building a front-end for business applications is often a matter of reinventing the wheel, but because every business’ needs are slightly different, it’s also hard to automate. Kleeen is the latest ...

Global data usage has skyrocketed since the launch of the first smartphones. In 2010 the figure stood at just 2 ZB. Fast forward to now and it has reached 120 ZB and this figure is predicted to ...

As high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology improves, so does the need to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the ...

We are used to thinking of the IC design flow in terms of two phases: a front-end and a back-end. We make the gate-level netlist the dividing line. What comes before is front-end: it is about the ...

System requirements for broad bandwidth, millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, phased arrays, and integrated antennas and front-ends are evolving. The challenge for engineers will be achieving the cost, ...
