There continues to be a lot of interest about analogue design with the open source PDK.To cover this interest, I’ve previously interviewed:Diego about his opamp,Lakshmi about her PLL andThomas about his satellite transceiver.One of the big changes in MPW2 was the provision of more analogue support in the form of Caravan - a new harness. This is exciting because one of the key advantages of an ASIC over an FPGA is the mixed signal capability.I’m keen to try an analogue project for MPW3, and to add support for analogue in the multi project tools.Livestream!To find out more about how to design for analogue I’m doing a livestream with Thomas on Monday 5th July at 7pm CEST. We’ll cover:Recap of his MPW1 transceiver designHow have things improved for analogue with MPW2?What’s new in the transceiver design for MPW2?A demo of his workflow:Schematic capture & simulationKlayout drawingExtraction in magicSimulation with Pyspice & ngspiceWhat was hard about MPW1/2?Q&A with audienceThe livestream will be on the Zero to ASIC youtube channel.
