IC Design

Webcast: Welcome to the “Accelerate your system and consumer designs using MachXO2 PLDs “ webcast. In this webcast, we’ll take a look at some of the typical system and consumer application requirements, and see how MachXO2 devices address these requirements. We’ll also talk about the MachXO2 PLD feature... more

Application Note: Transmit preemphasis and receive equalization can allow serializer/deserializer (SerDes) devices to operate over inexpensive cables or over extended distances. This application note describes how signals are degraded over cables and how to compensate for that degradation. Additionally, this... more

Webcast: Die bonders can perform epoxy die attach at a rate of 1.5 to 4 thousand die per hour, and wire bonders can interconnect complex packages at speeds of more than 10 wires per second. There is one major concern with operating at these speeds: if something in the assembly process is wrong, everything... more

Webcast: This presentation will go over some of the common issues encountered when setting up performing circuit simulation of high speed serial designs. Topics will include s-parameter passivity and causality, frequency sampling and bandwidth and how they relate to simulation accuracy, model... more
