Mixed-Signal ASICs:
From design to good integrated circuits

Workshop on Affordable Design and Production of Mixed-Signal ASICs for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

 
14:00 - 14:45 Presentation [P. Kaiser]: "CAD Methods to Improve Yield"
 
Abstract: Corner Analysis, Monte Carlo Analysis, Design Centering and Design for long term Reliability are important points to consider when trying to create a robust ASIC. This presentation shows how CAD tools and simulation models can support the designer right from the beginning of a new project.
 
Biography: Peter KAISER studied at the University of Applied Science in Munich Electronics with the major field Communications Engineering. After his degree as Diplom Ingenieur (FH) he started working with Kontron Electronics as application engineer for electronic CAD systems. In 1990 he started working for Computervision and was attended to key customers in the area simulation of analog and digital circuits. After this, 1993 till 1998, he became an expert in simulation methods for electric and magnetic fields and explored systematical methods to describe and solve unwanted electromagnetic couplings (EMC) at Siemens. To his current field of activity, he came in 1998. He was leading the development for several mixed signal ASIC's in the area of automotive and industrial. He guided the ASIC's starting with the product idea, continuing with the design and ended with the high volume production. In May 2006 he started his own business and has an engineering company for mixed signal ASIC Design. He is representing the Tanner IC Design Software and Aptasic in Germany.
