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 ...

In ASIC physical implementation, once layout is generated, it must follow all the design rules for successful manufacturing and must match the schematic of the required design. To ensure this in ...

In the nanometer era, die areas are getting larger as the designs are getting more and more complex. In order to ensure the correctness of the implemented design, bigger layout databases needs to be ...

From circuit simulation to embedded firmware testing and PCB design, Proteus lets you see how hardware and code work together ...

[Andrew Greenberg] has some specific ideas for how open-source hardware hackers could do a better job with their KiCad schematics. In his work with students at Portland State University, [Andrew] ...

A layout vs. schematic (LVS) physical verification tool performs a vital function as a member of a complete IC verification tool suite by providing device and connectivity comparisons between the IC ...
