Introductory Remarks Analog IC design has long been considered “full-custom only.” In this paper via-configurable analog/mixed signal technology is introduced as a means for resolving the critical issues confronting analog/mixed signal IC designers—cycle time and tooling cost. The method for developing and configuring via configurable arrays (VCAs) using a single via layer is described. Finally, [Read more...]
