  • Patent number: 8413907
    Abstract: A wireless IC device that is miniaturized, allows simple and low-cost mounting of a wireless IC, and eliminates the possibility of damage occurring to the wireless IC due to static electricity, and an electronic apparatus equipped with the wireless IC device, includes a wireless IC chip that processes transmission and reception signals, and a feeder circuit substrate that includes a resonant circuit having an inductance element. Feeder electrodes are provided on a surface of the feeder circuit substrate and are electromagnetically coupled to the resonant circuit. The feeder electrodes and are electromagnetically coupled to radiation plates and provided for a printed wiring board. The wireless IC chip is activated by a signal received by the radiation plates and a response signal from the wireless IC chip is radiated outward from the radiation plates.

  • Patent number: 8176455
    Abstract: A semiconductor device design support apparatus for generating a substrate netlist so as to be able to perform substrate noise analysis with high accuracy in a short time. The semiconductor device design support apparatus comprises a unit that divides a semiconductor device layout into a plurality of segments and generates a macro-model of the segments by using a current waveform of an instance included in the divided segments; a unit that replaces a pattern (termed as “substrate interface”) that is designed to be an interface with a substrate with respect to the segments, by a prescribed substrate interface diagram; and a unit that generates a substrate netlist, based on the substrate interface diagram of the plurality of segments.
