Science and Engineering

At the analog integrated circuit laboratory we are promoting research that focuses on two points: information processing technology utilizing analog circuits and how the analog circuits are created. With regard to information processing technology we are researching information processing that utilizes complex dynamics such as in a neural network. We wish to realize the information processing doctrine of the brain on an analog circuit. For the problem of how the circuits should be created we aim at establishing automatic design technology carried out by computer. We wish to automate the design flow, which used to rely on the experience of the designer, using an optimization program on a computer. We are also carrying out research on simulation technology that cannot be easily realized using existing technology such as high-frequency circuits used in cell phones and a large-scale digital circuit mixed system.
