Application-specific ICs (ASICs) have the benefit of integrating a maximum amount of circuitry for a particular function on a single IC. This saves board space and cost. However, ASICs also have ...

Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

Most of today's system-on-chip (SoC) designs rely on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as a way to accelerate verification, start software development early and validate the whole system before ...

Verification and design engineers like to talk shop and discuss their experiences and visions. But even though engineers sharing stories around the water cooler (whatever form that takes—conferences, ...

Here at Keysight Oscilloscope HQ, we talk a lot about ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). But why? Who cares about the internal architecture of a cheap oscilloscope? All that matters is ...
