Why Callbacks Break Automated Analog IC Migration Tools — And What You Can Do About It

If you’re a senior analog IC designer, you’ve likely heard the pitch: “Automated migration tools can seamlessly port your designs to new process nodes.”  But when it comes to real-world analog design, that promise often falls short. One of the biggest reasons? Callbacks. In this post, we’ll unpick why callbacks are a hidden obstacle in […]

The hidden threat in analog IC migration: Why electromigration rules can make or break your next tapeout

When we talk about analog IC migration challenges, the conversation usually centers on device modelling, parasitic extraction, or layout density rules.  But there’s an equally important aspect that can turn a successful design into a reliability nightmare: electromigration violations. Analog IC migration isn’t just about device models, parasitics, or layout rules. There’s another silent killer: […]

Why high frequency design makes analog IC migration so challenging

Migrating analog IP to a new foundry or process node is never a simple “shrink and go” exercise—especially when high-frequency (HF) design is involved. At RF and multi-GHz speeds, even small changes in parasitics, device models and substrate behavior can derail performance. For engineering teams exploring migration, understanding these HF-specific risks is essential to avoid […]
