Analog migration projects live or die on numerous metrics – it is not easy, to say the least. Three very critical metrics are PPA, Performance, Power and Area. Here’s what most analog designers already know: when you’re porting IP to a new process, the real goal isn’t improvement—it’s preservation. You want to maintain performance specifications […]

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 […]
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: […]
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 […]

Artificial Intelligence has become a ubiquitous label across industries—and electronic design automation is no exception. At Thalia Design Automation, we have to admit that we’ve contributed to the trend. We’ve described our AMALIA Platform as “AI-powered,” and while that’s technically accurate, we recognise that such claims are often unhelpfully vague—ours included. Like many in the […]
Migrating an analog IC design is akin to a heptathlon, requiring excellence across multiple tasks and disciplines. Making adjustments to the metal stack is one of the key challenges to successful
