“Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is the silicon of the future. Is and always will be.” That was the humorous perspective circulating among analog technologists in the late 1980s. In a similar vein, I can't ...

The rapid evolution of electronic system design has underscored the importance of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and mixed‐signal systems in achieving flexible, energy‐efficient processing.

An earlier type of ASIC chip that was partially finished with rows of unconnected transistors and resistors. The chip was completed by designing and adhering the top metal layers that provided the ...

Researchers have created protonic programmable resistors -- the building blocks of analog deep learning systems -- that can process data 1 million times faster than the synapses in the human brain.

ICs and SoCs are utilizing a range of processing elements that allow them to optimize current workloads while hedging their bets for the future. What used to be a simple choice between an ASIC, FPGA, ...
