“Quotations”
Yannis Tsividis (on analog circuit CAD) [IEEE J. SSC-29 (3), 210 (1994)]
- “… What is needed is a model developed from scratch, by teams who truly understand device operation and appreciate the analog designer’s needs at the same time. Here, in fact, lies one of the root causes of the problems with modeling: such teams are very hard to come by.”
- “Another difficulty is the entrenchment of established approaches and routines. Suppose a good model, with none of the problems discussed above, were developed. It would be a very difficult job to try and get it accepted by the community. It would have to be implemented correctly in several versions of Spice, appropriate parameter extraction systems would have to be developed, the foundries would have to be convinced to provide parameters for the new model, etc.”

- “… Initiating rather than following trends.”
Albert Einstein — our guide
- “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.”
