1. EDA (Circuits) Overview Paul Hasler

2. Extent of Circuits (Analog/Digital) Analog ~ 20% of IC market since 1970 Hearing aids Automotive Biomedical Digital Cameras Cell Phones MEMs devices / Circuits

3. --- Red Herring Magazine, February 2003 “Analog chips enable computers to interact with the physical world--to see, listen, touch...the next ten years will see a shift in emphasis to analog technologies... In the coming years, look for analog--not digital--chips to attract the new talent and investment...” --- Brian Halla CEO National Semiconductor “The Analog Renaissance is Here!” "DSP and high-performance analog are the engines... and we're only at the beginning of where analog is going." --- Templeton, incoming CEO of TI, February 2004
