Beyond Spice: Field-solver software steps in for modeling high-frequency, space-constrained circuits By Paul Rako, Technical Editor
Field-solver software can predict the behavior of circuits that operate at speeds and densities beyond the capabilities of Spice to properly model. Whether you are trying to verify signal integrity or designing an RFIC, you should know how field solvers could help your design.
Agile software empowers wireless-sensor networks By PJ Tanzillo, National Instruments
Applications for wireless networks can range from home automation to large-scale environmental monitoring. With the freedom these wireless approaches offer, you can network the tundra as easily as the office.
A logical approach to NVM integration in SOC design By Ann De Vries and Yanjun Ma, Impinj
SOC designers have several options for integrating NVM (nonvolatile memory) into their designs, so it's wise to weigh the availability and numerous trade-offs before jumping headfirst into integrating NVM into your SOC.
