Standard CMOS gates used in IC design are inverting for a variety of reasons, including lower area and delay compared to the non inverting versions. So, It would be inefficient to use an inverter when ...

FinFET: A three-dimensional transistor design that offers improved gate control and reduced leakage currents compared to traditional planar CMOS devices.

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 ...

Which is the best option? I don’t know for sure. (Do you?) Happily, this conundrum doesn’t apply to CMOS logic gates because there is no power difference between using a pull-up or a pull-down, so we ...

Such a type of logic need not be used only at gate level. Theseus owns a patented asynchronous logic implementation, which it offers as licenses and uses it to design asynchronous systems, IP and ...

CMOS Technology: Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, famed for its low power use and high noise immunity, and widely used in modern integrated circuits.

You can use the circuit described in this DesignIdea to estimate voltages across 10- to 100-MΩresistances. It also works for reverse-biased diodes. The common CMOS gates in Figure 1 have aninput ...

Area gains over CMOS, according to the company, are due high transistor conductivity leading to small transistors, and fewer transistors – most ZTL logic gates have only one – which reduces the need ...

At a Glance In the case of single-input logic gates, should the inputs to unused gates be left floating? Or should they be connected to power or ground via pull-up or pull-down resistors, respectively ...

As you might guess from the name, the clock uses CMOS logic, based around a 12 bit counter, to provide the divider circuits 24 (daily) and 60 (minutes and seconds).
