## Summary

Brett Brune, editor-in-chief of EE Times, and Majeed Ahmad, editor-in-chief of Planet Analog, discuss the 'Analog Everywhere' special report, analyzing the state of analog design in 2023. They explore the tension between integrating analog blocks into SoCs and the need for standalone devices in IoT and automotive sectors, while highlighting the evolution of EDA tools and the challenges of automating analog design. The conversation covers specific industry players like Analog Devices, Synopsys, and TSMC, and technologies such as FinFET and Gate-All-Around (GAA) processes.
