More undocumented applications for the 555 ‘oscillator:’ Not all applications oscillate as we will see. Most are knowledgeable about common CMOS logic inverters and Schmitt triggers such as the 74HC04 ...

Since you can now get CMOS parts with comparable speeds to these TTL parts, why would anyone continue to use TTL? In fact, there a few reasons… Since you can now get CMOS parts with comparable speeds ...

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 ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...

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 ...

The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

The most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat misleading because in order to reduce power consumption, CMOS is actually ...
