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 ...

This document tackles the basic facts of the 74HCT TTL Compatible CMOS components. It includes a comparison between its sub-family of components. Suggestions on what CMOS to use on a specific ...

Some people can’t be bothered to read the analog face of a traditional clock. Some people cannot stand the low frequency “hum” of mains current. If you are in either of those categories, you probably ...

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 ...

In this paper, the authors propose a MOS-BJT-NDR circuit, which can show the Negative-Differential-Resistance (NDR) characteristic in its current-voltage curve. This NDR circuit is composed of ...

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 ...

Any typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions implementation. Naturally, CMOS always ought to provide INVERTED outputs like ...

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 ...

Nottingham-based SFN (Search for the Next) has characterised its novel transistor-based logic, and claims that it matches CMOS performance even when made in older fabs. It would “enable chip designers ...
