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 ...

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 ...

Any typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions implementation. Naturally, CMOS always ought to provide INVERTED outputs like ...

CMOS is, and will continue to be, the work-horse process technology of the semi-conductor industry. But designers of large devices, of complex SoCs and of devices using multiple IP elements are ...

Current-Mode Logic (CML) and low-power Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology continue to drive significant advances in digital circuit design, particularly in high-speed and energy ...

Nottingham-based SFN (Search for the Next) has characterised its novel transistor-based logic, and claims that it matches CMOS performance even when made in older fabs. It would “enable chip designers ...

Here’s an IC logic project that displays 24-hour time. Planning was the name of the game for this project. [Mattosx] took the time to layout his design as a PCB in order to avoid the wiring nightmare ...

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 ...
