How new 3D parasitic extraction technology applied to a flash ADC design ensures it will work according to spec.
For sensitive mixed-signal designs at small process nodes, the influence of parasitic elements is growing with the increasing interactions among devices and interconnects that are in close proximity. Circuits are highly sensitive to these parasitic effects, and accurate parasitic extraction is critical for first silicon success. New 3D parasitic extraction technology applied to a flash ADC circuit design reduces the need for extra guardbanding and ensures that it will work according to the specifications when manufactured.

Showing that a processor core adheres to a specification becomes more difficult when the specification is extensible.
The term creates hope for some, fear for others, and confusion for all.
Optimizing complex chips requires decisions about overall system architecture, and memory is a key variable.
While CPUs continue to evolve, performance is no longer limited to a single processor type or process geometry.
