Why digital and analog engineers must now find common ground.
Analog and digital engineers traditionally have worked in very different worlds. Many analog engineers for years have opted to verify analog designs by scrutinizing waveforms, while digital engineers have treated analog blocks like black boxes. But as these two areas converge in advanced SoCs and multi-die assemblies, the demarcation line between these engineering disciplines is being erased. Shekar Chetput, software engineering group director at Cadence, talks about what’s needed on both the digital and the analog sides in order to speed up mixed signal simulations and improve the reliability of these very complex and expensive devices.
