Real PPA improvements from analog IC migration
Analog migration projects live or die on numerous metrics – it is not easy, to say the least. Three very critical metrics are PPA, Performance, Power and Area. Here’s what most analog designers already know: when you’re porting IP to a new process, the real goal isn’t improvement—it’s preservation.
Analog Foundation Models
In this work, the authors introduce a general and scalable method to robustly adapt LLMs for execution on noisy, low-precision analog hardware.
AnaFlow: Agentic LLM-based Workflow for Reasoning-Driven Explainable and Sample-Efficient Analog Circuit Sizing
Analog/mixed-signal circuits are key for interfacing electronics with the physical world. Their design, however, remains a largely handcrafted process, resulting in long and error-prone design cycles. While the recent rise of AI-based reinforcement learning and generative AI has created new techniques to automate this task, the need for many time-consuming simulations is a critical bottleneck hindering the overall efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of explainability of the resulting design solutions hampers widespread adoption of the tools.
Why Anti-tamper Sensors Matter: Agile Analog and Rambus Deliver Comprehensive Security Solution
If your device processes valuable data, controls a critical function, or connects to a wider network, it’s a target. Attackers don’t just try to break software; they increasingly physically tamper with hardware; probing, fault injecting, or opening enclosures to bypass protections and extract secrets. The consequences range from IP theft and fraud to orchestrated downtime across fleets of connected devices.
Introducing agileSecure anti-tamper security portfolio
Agile Analog’s tamper detection IP is a comprehensive set of sensors and monitors designed to detect a wide variety of physical attacks and side-channel attacks (SCAs). T
