CMOS devices have large input impedance with input currents on the order of 0.01nA. Adding feedback circuitry can result in a latch-like device that can be used to store bits, and also operate in a ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...

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 ...

A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can be 2 ...

Non-volatile bistable memory circuits pave the way for highly energy-efficient CMOS logic systems. Non-volatile bistable memory circuits being developed by Satoshi Sugahara and his team at Tokyo Tech ...

The rapid evolution of CMOS technology has driven the need for more efficient and high-speed logic circuits, with wide fan-in domino logic circuits emerging as a promising solution. These circuits, ...

The transistor, an invention that heralded a new era in electronics, is the key component of practically all integrated circuits (ICs) and microprocessors. The point-contact transistor that Walter H.
