Layout Density and the Analog Cell

Posted Nov 29, 2010, by John Ferguson

Density and the Analog Cell Analog design is a very sensitive business. Unlike the digital world, where circuits are on or off, and have built in hysteresis to prevent inadvertent toggling, analog circuitry is intentionally designed to respond to minor fluctuations in the signal. As a result, analog layout is riskier than digital. To prevent race conditions, or minor (yet potentially catastrophic) … Read More
