When a design needs auxiliary voltage rails and the associated current loads are modest, capacitor pump voltage multipliers are often the simplest, cheapest, and most efficient way to make them. Wow ...

Applications ranging from frequency counting and synthesis to sensor signal conditioning require conversion of RF signals to digital-logic levels. In such situations, designers typically use a ...

A new technical paper titled “Vertical-Stack Nanowire Structure of MOS Inverter and TFET Inverter in Low-temperature Application” was published by researchers at National Tsing Hua University and ...

New technical paper titled “New ternary inverter with memory function using silicon feedback field-effect transistors” was published from researchers at Korea University. In this study, we present a ...

Single-chip transmitters proposed by some IC manufacturers have good electrical performance, but they're often plagued by some drawbacks. For instance, they're hard to find in small quantities. Also, ...

In a modern CMOS VLSI chip, the most important function components are CMOS static gates. In gate array circuits, CMOS static gates are used almost exclusively. In microprocessors and supporting ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...
