Power dissipation in portables: Design considerations using low-power CMOS ICs

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 ...

The History Of CMOS

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

Models for high-voltage transistors in a standard CMOS process

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 ...

Use Hybrid PMOS-NMOS Active Loads To Cut Substrate Noise In Differential Amplifiers

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 ...

P-type NiOX dielectric-based CMOS inverter logic gate using enhancement-mode GaN nMOS and diamond pMOS transistors

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
