November 11, 2022 -- Semiwise has developed transistor SPICE models based on the GlobalFoundries (GF) 22FDX ® Platform that enable cryogenic CMOS design and verification. Using its patented ...

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 ...

MEMS-based component suppliers want to rapidly ramp their designs into high-volume production. This demand is driving MEMS suppliers to focus on ways to more efficiently re-use established process ...

In recent years we have begun to see references to “RF” CMOS processes and to “RF” models for those processes. This article will explore what the real meanings of such “RF” designations are, and what ...

Working from the fundamentals of transistor-level design and building up to system-level considerations, this text demonstrates how to design state-of-the-art high performance digital integrated ...

The solution is to use high impedance amplifiers in an electrometer configuration, so only miniscule amplifier input current comes from the test node. To make the input current the lowest possible ...

Technologists describe a straight port of an existing bulk CMOS design to FD-SOI at the same node, obtaining the value of fully depleted SOI for a modest redesign effort. November 16th, 2012 - By: ...

Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are critical components in the receiver front end of wireless systems, tasked with boosting weak signals while introducing minimal additional noise. Advances in ...

Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are indispensable timing and frequency synthesis circuits, finding application in communication transceivers, clock distribution, navigation receivers and sensor interfaces.

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. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...
