Prime Fishing for Mixed-Signal Integration (PDF 257KB) December 2004 After casting a net in the deep sea of single-chip mixed-signal
integration - pulling up a mixture of premium sea bass and questionable
crustaceans - it may be time to switch the inlet to identify opportunities
upstream and downstream of the analog hatchery. Going with the flow
is the trend toward claiming that 'system-on-a-chip' creates a single-chip
solution. Meanwhile, a select number of analog players are deftly
maneuvering upstream as they leverage their technology and module
expertise for optimized analog subsystems.
