Comparator Propagation Delay in High Speed Mixed-Signal Design Comparator-based thresholding circuits are often described in simple terms: an analog signal crosses a threshold, the comparator changes its output voltage level, typically to a standard logic level like 3.3V or 5V. The digital section can then process this logic level directly on silicon or in application logic. How this occurs in programmable logic depends on the comparator propagation delay. The important question is when the comparator output Read Article

ECAD-MCAD Collaboration - Bridging the Communication Gap Let’s face it, there are things that we do the same way every day, simply because ‘we have always done them that way’ and we are used to them. Due to schedule pressures and outside demands, there is rarely time to think about how to make these things better, never mind try to actually implement something new. This makes the motivation to invest in exploring different methodologies challenging. Our general tendencies lean more toward continuing to Read Article
