Analog Chip Design is an Art. Can AI Help? - by Jon Y
I want to call out a Substack written by a friend. Tanj boasts a monstrous boatload of knowledge about semiconductor manufacturing - particularly in memory. He recently started his new Substack and I want you all to go subscribe to it. Like now. This below post on FinFETs is extremely informative and I loved it. Almost every integrated circuit will have an analog component. That component is often pretty small. Sometimes as little as 3% of the total thing. Yet this tiny little piece of analog circuitry regularly takes up over half of the integrated circuit's total design cost. That is because analog chip design is a goshdarn art. Hand-drawn by a chip-Michelangelo staring up at the ceiling night after night. And if there is one thing we all know, it is that computers can't do art like artists can ... right? In this video, we are going to talk about the art of analog circuit design and AI’s potential to help. The digital world is made up of 1s and 0s. But the real world is analog. Transi
