I got a bit inspired by the top-ten lists found at e.g. Listverse. Not the David Letterman top-ten lists, but lists with a little bit more of a substance. I hope to give an interesting top-ten list every week, where the topics relate to the work of analog IC design engineer (well, with some connection to the university too I presume).
The lists will probably mainly reflect my own thoughts, but please come with some ideas you too. Please also be free to comment on the list and additional items that should be on them.
- Full-custom layout tools
- Circuit-level simulators
- Simple circuit building blocks
- Useful tools for analog design
- Complex circuit analyses
- Sites for analog/mixed-signal design
- Schematic entry in Cadence
- Emerging technologies
- Mixed-signal design engineers in the movies
- Documentation
- Common analog ic tips
- Other interesting WordPress sites
- Mixed-signal design books
