Alliance For Mixed-signal/RF Design
Mentor Graphics and STMicroelectronics are teaming up to address the needs of analogue/mixed-signal (AMS) and radio frequency (RF) design. The two companies have created a common R&D team with the goal of maximising AMS and RF design productivity for the companies mutual customers and internal ST design teams.
Mentor Graphics and STMicroelectronics are teaming up to address the needs of analogue/mixed-signal (AMS) and radio frequency (RF) design. The two companies have created a common R&D team with the goal of maximising AMS and RF design productivity for the companies mutual customers and internal ST design teams.
The alliance will adopt Mentor's ADVance MS tool suite, which enables a top-down design methodology based on VHDL-AMS to significantly increase speed and detail in mixed-signal simulations.
The alliance follows on from five years of co-operative effort between the two companies. The companies will develop comprehensive VHDL-AMS model libraries and use Mentor Graphics AMS design and verification tools with the aim of shortening design cycles and increasing first-pass design success.

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
