Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon ...

CMOS technology has dominated the IC business for the last 25 years and will continue to do so for another 25 years, according to the author of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation. He ...

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 ...

Engineers choose CMOS/biCMOS logic to be “green” and reduce power consumption. CMOS and biCMOS only draw power on transitions, so those circuits run cool at slow speeds. So why is the board hot?

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 potatoes doubling ...

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.

Buffer Once we establish the four fundamental switching circuits shown in the previous section, we can build the following two CMOS circuits naturally: the inverter by enhancement MOSFET in Figure 7 , ...

CMOS technology offers the possibility of combining the sensor's photodiodes with other on-chip CMOS circuits, which is not possible with CCD sensors. This is a major advantage compared to CCDs, where ...

The CMOS circuit showed no significant deterioration after the MEMS processing. Despite the low processing temperature, the poly-SiGe piezoresistive sensor alone (250x250µm 2 membrane) showed a ...
