can actually be disastrous for an unprotected CMOS circuit. A simple spark or otherwise invisible charge can ruin a MOS based device by punching holes in the gate insulation. Another problem ...

Littelfuse’s IXD2012NTR high-side and low-side gate driver drives two N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in a half-bridge ...

while pMOS transistors conduct current when the gate voltage is low. This complementary behavior is exploited in CMOS circuit design to create a system where only one type of transistor is on and ...

In CMOS circuits, power dissipation occurs whenever there is a path for current flow formed between the supply and ground rails. Fig. 1 Static and Dynamic power dissipation paths. These paths are ...

Littelfuse has released the IXD2012NTR, a high-speed, high-side and low-side gate driver designed to drive two N-channel ...

This approach was used with the Apollo Guidance Computer, which was built using discrete 3-input RTL-based NOR gates. The competing diode-transistor logic (DTL) circuit technology had the ...

Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double ... combined benefits of the tri-gate CMOS transistor architecture with ...

In 1963, Frank Wanlass and C.T.Sah of Fairchild unveiled the first logic gate in which n-channel and p-channel transistors were used in a complementary symmetric circuit configuration. This is what is ...

Design of CMOS digital integrated circuits, concentrating on device, circuit, and architectural issues. Analysis and design techniques in custom integrated circuit design, standard cells, memory. Use ...
