From simple transistors to complex systems, this article explains the building blocks of digital logic design. Learn how ...

Abstract: Surge in the power dissipation due to increased leakage current has become one of the major concern in conventional CMOS VLSI design because of reduced transistor size, lower threshold ...

Introduction to Magic VLSI Magic is an open-source VLSI layout tool originally developed by John Ousterhout and his team at UC Berkeley. It is widely used for physical chip layout and runs primarily ...

A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can be 2 ...

When starting a new electronics project today, one of the first things that we tend to do is pick the integrated circuits that make up the core of the design. This can be anything from a ...

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 ...

Abstract: The advent of dynamic CMOS logic, more precisely domino logic, made them widely used for the implementation of low power VLSI circuits. However, the main drawback of this logic is the non ...
