The job of an analog design engineer is to design the circuitry found in analog electronics. Basically, as electronic engineers, they develop and maintain the circuitry by way of testing and troubleshooting, including the supervision of the manufacturing process in factories and plants. Responsibilities of an analog design engineer Everyday electronic devices, such […]
Position sensors are used in detection and processing of measurement data on the basis of position of a moving object. In this case, the inductive position sensors will measure the angular positions with the use of arising variations of the magnetic field amplitudes. Rotations or shifts of the moving magnet induce such amplitudes. However, […]
Advancement is the medical world can be credited to modern technology, such as the development and integration of linear microsystems. One of the notable microsystems technologies currently is the application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Definition of microsystems In short microsystem is defined as the collection of electronic and electromechanical elements that are reduced in […]
Are you familiar with system-on-a-chip (SoC)? If not, well, you should because it is one of the components found inside your beloved smartphone. In fact, it is an especially important component of your smartphone that makes it function, comparable to a human brain. But perhaps it is more appropriate to compare it to the […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have a basic need for application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips. The ASIC chip allows programming of instructions to operate as an accelerator for simultaneous algorithms. An ASIC chip basically enables multiple AI algorithms to operate simultaneously without compromise to its computing power. This makes it more advantageous than other […]
beingTime of Flight is the measurement of travel time by an object, electromagnetic, or acoustic wave through a medium. From radiation detectors to automotive, the Time of Flight ASIC has come a long way. Time of Flight ASIC in the Medical Field The medical field has reaped the benefits of TOF techniques; medical PET or […]
LiDAR or Light Detection and Ranging technique uses light for remote sensing of the outdoors. Also referred to as laser radar, LiDAR ASIC is now used as an environment sensing technique, tracking changes in the environment in locations that are hard to navigate by foot or too large to be self measured . LiDAR can […]
ASIC technology allows for the integration of required functionality to pave way for next generation designs. It also allows full customization of the design according to usage and specification. Besides that, Application Specific Integrated Circuits are lower power, high reliability, and difficult to copy. ASICs are designed to carry out a specific task for a […]
Moving between analog design and digital domains require data converters, but sometimes they present both challenges and opportunities. When it comes to sensors and actuators, the use of data converters is necessary. Moreover, they are used in many other places, including RF signals for wireless communications, on-chip from PVT monitors, embedded in the SerDes […]
Technological experts nowadays are relying more on integration, particularly in the field of microprocessors. However, there are challenges faced by engineers as it becomes harder to integrate system on a chip or SOC with the increasing amount of IP. SOC integration has now been challenged with increased complexity such as multiple processors, power domains, […]
