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 ...

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 ...

In the early '90s, many pessimists predicted that CMOS would hit a wall as it approached 100-nm and lower gate lengths toward the end of the century. But CMOS processes steadily marched forward, ...

CMOS current reference circuits play a critical role in modern integrated circuits by providing a stable and reproducible current source that remains unaffected by variations in supply voltage, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ikoma, Japan – Flexible semiconductors are essential for future wearable electronics technologies, but have been difficult to integrate into complex architectures. Now, in a study recently published ...

It runs at 5 MHz, achieves 20-nanosecond programming and erasing speeds, and operates with low energy consumption.

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) is a type of circuit known to be cost-effective and efficient. These circuits are found in many day-to-day items, such as batteries and the image sensors ...
