Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2.

In interaction designer [Leonardo Amico]’s work Processing Decay, lettuce is used as an input to produce sound as an element within a CMOS circuit. We’ve all seen lemons and p ...

Short-circuit power dissipation during switching of transistors Static power dissipation When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage ...

On one end of the twisted pair is a power supply and decoder circuit, which sends 9 volts up the line to power the PIC sensor. The decoder is based on a CD4538 dual monostable multivibrator, set ...

One possible way to extend Moore’s law beyond the limits of transistor scaling is to obtain the equivalent circuit functionality using fewer devices or components, i.e., get more computing per ...

Broadband image sensor array based on graphene–CMOS integration. Nature Photonics, 2017; 11 (6): 366 DOI: 10.1038/nphoton.2017.75 ...

Now that you understand the physics of latchup, you can see how it starts. This is what was unsatisfactory in the first diagram, it showed the parasitic transistors you end up with, but not how they ...

Although a few CMOS-based transceivers for 300 GHz have been proposed, they either lack enough output power, can only operate in direct line-of-sight conditions, or require a large circuit area to ...

In this article we presented a 20kHz-20MHz ring oscillator designed, fabricated and tested in a 40nm CMOS technology. For this kind of circuit, there is an obvious trade-off between output frequency ...

After combining the glass with silicon to create a “hybrid” CMOS circuit, researchers saw processing speeds jump 100X. CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology can be found in ...
