As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions, their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures ...

Scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed low power, high performance CMOS logic technology that is vital to the future of microprocessors and system-on-chip (SoC) devices for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Non-volatile bistable memory circuits pave the way for highly energy-efficient CMOS logic systems. Non-volatile bistable memory circuits being developed by Satoshi Sugahara and his team at Tokyo Tech ...

In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) has emerged as a compelling candidate to complement the silicon material used in wireless communication and power conversion applications. Benefits of GaN ...

Chipmakers continue to scale the CMOS transistor to finer geometries, but the question is for how much longer. The current thinking is that the CMOS transistor could scale at least to the 3nm node in ...

If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...

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 ...
