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 ...

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 ...

In this paper, the authors propose a MOS-BJT-NDR circuit, which can show the Negative-Differential-Resistance (NDR) characteristic in its current-voltage curve. This NDR circuit is composed of ...

As author R. Jacob “Jake” Baker points out in the preface to this comprehensive volume, CMOS technology has dominated the fabrication of ICs for 25 years, and is likely to dominate it for another 25 ...

The circuit was designed to create a handy logic probe that can show off the logic states for high, low and pulsing outputs with the use of CMOS 4001 integrated circuit. Logic Probe – a handheld probe ...

One of the most promising nanotechnologies which can replace the present transistor based CMOS technology is the Qubit (Quantum-Dot) Cellular Automata. The major advantages of this technology are ...

When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

TOKYO, Japan, December 9, 2010 — Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the development of a basic structure for ...

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 ...

Microcontrollers may dominate today’s stepper motor projects, but there’s a charm in driving them with pure CMOS logic. Try ...
