Technology Trends: Design automation – More work needed on mixed-signal VC frontElectronic Engineering TimesJ.F.Pollet
System-on-a-chip (SOC) designs involving mixed-signal virtual components (VCs) require integration with thousands of logic gates without noise interference. Meeting the challenges of this type of design, Dolphin Integration and NEC Electronics (Europe) recently created a Codec VC for audio and telecommunications applications. The design successfully integrated A/D and D/A converters, programmable- gain functions and digital […]
