| Abstract | An importance of mixed signal LSI is increasing continuously. Emerging application areas such as medical, sensor networking, and energy saving will need this technology, as well as current application areas e.g. communications and digital consumers.
However there are many issues such as requirement for high performance and low power operation, low voltage operation, big variations, limited development cost and time, tough noises, and complicated relationship between chip, package and board.
This panel will discuss following topics for future mixed signal LSI design;
1) Issues; what is the most important or serious?
2) Direction of circuit design
3) Design methodology; ideal design methodology and reality
4) EDA technology; what have been done and residuals?
5) Education |
