Implementing configurable I/O blocks on a microcontroller IC is by now an established practice. These blocks in the past have been implemented either as register-configured fixed logic or as an array ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. – With inductance values as low as 15 picohenries, AVX Corp.'s LICA capacitor arrays perform high-speed decoupling for multiple signal paths in high-frequency switching applications ...

Design teams tackling mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) designs face the problem of how to get the most out of advanced process technologies when it comes to implementing their analog IP. They need to ...

Land Grid Array capacitors from AVX have achieved, thanks to patented design innovations, the equivalent high-frequency performance of complex 8-terminal Inter- Digitated Capacitors in a simple ...

In analog layout design, precise layout matching techniques are crucial to ensure the accuracy and performance of the circuit so that transistors exhibit similar electrical properties (i.e.

Greater system complexity and ever-higher clock speeds continue to push IC power consumption to the limit. And though every generation escalates the demand on IC current, voltage levels drop due to ...
