Network Definition

The Analogue Semiconductor market is growing rapidly with analogue circuits playing a crucial role in a variety of consumer applications such as wireless communications, wireless peripherals, MP3 players and digital cameras. Today, analogue designers can face implementing high-performance analogue using thousands of transistors often sharing silicon with millions of gates of digital logic on 90nm technologies and below.

The UK has a well established competency in analogue and mixed-signal, including a strong academic and research base, wide ranging design expertise, EDA tool development and circuit and SIP manufacture capability. This network provides a forum to exchange practical techniques and experiences in all of these fields. The forum also provides an opportunity for networking, business development and collaboration.
