Since its inception in 2008, Chipus has been developing a series of analog power management IP cores, including linear regulators, power-on resets, ultra low power references (voltage and current), and power management units, using various architectures, and employed by customers worldwide in various application areas.
Chipus is now building
Apple began relatively early with artificial intelligence software when it introduced Siri in 2011 – a tool that allows users to activate their smartphones with voice commands. Now, the electronics giant is bringing artificial intelligence to ICs.
Apple is working on a processor specifically designed for artificial intelligence tasks,
Electronic systems that improve vehicle performance; that add comfort and convenience; and that warn, detect, and take corrective measures to keep drivers safe and alert are being added to new cars each year. Consumer demand and government mandates for many of these new systems, along with rising prices for many

Higher bus speeds and lower power consumption are design criteria for most modern digital electronic products. Packaging solutions that provide higher bus speeds at reduced power per bit ratios require design techniques that shorten the distance between chips (to reduce drive currents) and use wider data buses (with finer line-space

Today, VLSI design flow is a very solid and mature process. The overall VLSI design flow and the various steps within the VLSI design flow have proven to be both practical and robust in multi-millions VLSI designs until now.
Each and every step of the VLSI design flow has
COLUMBIA, Md., May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Rohde & Schwarz America (RSA), a leading supplier of test & measurement equipment, and DA-Integrated, a company that offers advanced production test systems for development, characterization and volume production, have announced today that they have collaborated to develop an on-wafer RFIC production test

65nm, 28nm, 10nm, 7nm… If you follow Intel’s processors or Xilinx’s FPGAs, you have probably heard about the term semiconductor process node. Semiconductor foundries are investing billions of dollars to make the newest technology node available to the market.
Traditionally, the technology (process) node indicated to the transistor’s gate
Allowing battery-powered devices to run, without battery recharge, for years rather than months, partakes in enhancing significantly end-user satisfaction and is a key point to enabling the emergence of IoT applications. Numerous applications, such as M2M, BLE, Zigbee…, have an activity rate (duty cycle) such that the power consumption in
