Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...
A TFT LCD panel requires three voltages: VDD, VON, and VOFF. VDD, typically 13 V, powers the video signal path. VON, usually 25 V, supplies the turn-on gate drive bias voltage for the TFT cell.
Designers of electronics and communications systems are constantly faced with the challenge of integrating greater functionality on less silicon area. Many of the system blocks – such as power ...
X-FAB has added three new low-noise transistors to its 180nm process node: a 1.8 V low-noise NMOS, a 3.3 V low-noise NMOS and a 3.3 V low-noise PMOS – all of which offer drastically reduced flicker ...
PMOS transistors are less vulnerable to substrate noise since they’re placed in separate wells; designers implement guard rings to attenuate the substrate noise propagation. However, substrate noise ...
Given the massive spikes in power consumption incurred by microprocessors and memory when they ramp up to top speed, it is no surprise that much of the attention in circuit design is aimed at trying ...
Advanced process technologies, such as 90nm, 65nm, 45nm and below, present significant power management challenges for high performance semiconductors. Chip designers face increasing challenges in ...
Intel is in production with several 65-nm processors now, creating an inventory of commercial microprocessor products that will begin shipping early next year. At the IEDM conference, Intel showed die ...
