站在半导体工业数字IC一边、八年来一直在预测“模拟IC死亡”的那些人,在今年的ISSCC上多少会因模拟电路得到如此蓬勃的发展而受到一些震动.在这次年会上,模拟IC论文占了主导地位,占有ISSCC整个论文数量的50%以上.认清模拟IC发展的主要趋势是一件困难的事,因为模拟技术覆盖了真正“无限”范围的器件类型.但是,一种可以看得清的趋势就是要求降低功耗.实际上,所有论文的作者都是以下三个领域之一的设计人员:商业市场类型的半导体公司旨在开发哪些最终能取得经济效益的IC产品.系统厂商,如AT&T与IBM希望所开发的IC有朝一日能成为卓有成效的系统IC.学术界、国家实验室或军事开发机构开发的高级技术有一天会被前面两类或一类部门选用来制造卓有成效的芯片.
While standing at the semiconductor industry’s digital IC, those who have been predicting an “analog IC death” for eight years have been somewhat shaken by this year’s ISSCC as such analog circuits have been so thriving, at this annual meeting, IC papers dominate, accounting for more than 50% of the entire ISSCC paper .. Recognizing the main trends in analog IC development is a difficult undertaking as analog technologies cover a truly “infinite” range of device types, but one Clearly, the trend is to demand less power, and in fact, all authors are designers of one of three areas: Commercial-market semiconductor companies that aim to develop IC products that ultimately can be cost-effective. System vendors, such as AT & T and IBM, hope that the ICs that are being developed will one day become fruitful system ICs. Advanced technologies developed by academia, national laboratories, or military development agencies will someday be selected by either or both of the preceding categories to make fruitful chip.
