CAD / CAE Support

The use of EDA tools ensure:

• Clean documentation.

• Reusable data.

• Functional verification.

• Easy modification.

• Automated rule check.

• Back-annotation (synchronization between schematic and layout).

• Bill of material.

Performance

• The two most critical parameters that have been used to measure the worth of new technologies have been speed and power.

• High power circuits are normally fast, but the increased power requires larger power supplies and tends to heat up the junctions on silicon chips which slows the devices.

• In today's most dominant ASIC technology - CMOS - high power can cause accelerated junction temperatures which can slow down speed.

• One way to reduce the power and still maintain speed is to develop circuits such as differential pairs that do not switch from voltage rail to voltage rail.
