Current conveyors and capacitance multipliers are fundamental building blocks in modern CMOS technology, facilitating advanced analog signal processing and integrated circuit design. These circuits ...

The inverters in a CMOS CD4069 can be used for both analog as well as digital applications. This Design Idea illustrates this by using all six inverters in a 4069 package to make a closed loop, ...

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 ...

A bluetooth radio in 0.18 um CMOS technology works on 2.5 - 3.0 V, dissipating 75 mW in RX and 90 mW in TX. RX uses a 2MHz IF with an active poly-phase bandpass filter. The fractional-N PLL uses a VCO ...

Texas Instrument's Richard Zarr reviews the differences between Silicon-Germanium BiCMOS and small-geometry CMOS when it comes to driving high-speed data transmission lines. The CMOS process was the ...

Off capacitance between the source and drain (C DS(OFF)) is a measure of an off switch’s ability to block a signal on the source from coupling to the drain. It’s a common specification seen in ...

Cryogenic CMOS is a technology on the cusp, promising higher performance and lower power with no change in fabrication technology. The question now is whether it becomes viable and mainstream.

Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research team at Penn State University claims to have built the first working CMOS ...
