180nm

X-Fab has added a process module to its wide voltage- and temperature-range 180nm mixed-signal process that supports a set of transistors with lower 1/f flicker noise.

ARM has expanded its DesignStart program by providing access to the Cortex-M3 as well as the M0 with no up-front licence fee.

Does the internet of things (IoT) require a change in design techniques? A number of people involved in the EDA industry reckon it does.

The stall in Moore's Law caused by the rapid rise in cost of the advanced processes will shift more innovation to mature nodes Monday keynoters at DAC said.

At DATE 2013, Synopsys senior vice president Antun Domic, described how techniques for the latest nodes are being rolled back into mature nodes, all the way to 180nm.
