Seldom does discrete logic make waves, but Toshiba Corp. is stirring up controversy with a claim that it will use CMOS technology to perform high-drive backplane functions that previously were only ...
Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...
Some people can’t be bothered to read the analog face of a traditional clock. Some people cannot stand the low frequency “hum” of mains current. If you are in either of those categories, you probably ...
Low power design has become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit development, driven by energy efficiency demands and the challenges of scaling in nanometre technologies. Innovations in ...
Why it matters: Faster and more energy-efficient computing is becoming harder to develop. Fortunately, chip researchers are looking well beyond current technologies and have prototypes that will ...
Thanks to an embedded nonvolatile memory core, chip designers can arm themselves with a multiple-time-programmable (MTP) fuse that's manufacturable via standard CMOS logic processes. Unlike several ...
Abstract: What can be simpler than designing with CMOS and BiCMOS? These technologies are very easy to use but they still require careful design. This tutorial discusses the odd case of circuits that ...
