Sending Mixed Signals

This week we’re talking mixed signals. My guest is Mladen Nizic (Cadence) and we’re talking about a brand new book published just a couple weeks ago called “Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide”.  Mladen and I chat about who this book is for, what companies collaborated to make this manual happen, and even where mixed-signal education is headed. Also this week, I check out Altera’s newly released roadmap for 20nm and a new “magic carpet” that can not only map a person’s individual walking patterns but also predict when they are going to fall.

I’ve also got a brand new nerdy giveaway this week, but you’ll have to tune in to find out what it is and how to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

CBOT MULTIGIG Transceiver Platform
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Anders Thelin from TE Connectivity and Amelia Dalton explore how the CBOT MULTIGIG transceiver platform helps address these challenges with a modular, high-performance approach to rugged, high-density connectivity. We also investigate how this platform supports next-generation system architectures, improves design efficiency, and enables robust performance in even the most demanding environments.
