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 ...

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

Ring-oscillator process monitors give production test teams a fast on-die frequency measurement for identifying CMOS process ...

Finishing up on the topic of CMOS bus logic I am going to show a couple of families with unique properties that may come in handy one day. First up is a CMOS logic family AHC/AHCT that has one of the ...

It was suggested during the early 1990’s that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were slowly becoming extinct and therefore were considered as ‘technological dinosaurs’ 1. Furthermore, in 2015 the Sony ...

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 ...
