If the PMOS and NMOS transistors are sized so that g m1 = g mb2, the V sub term vanishes and I x = V x (gm1 + gmb1). In this case, the active load impedance ZLOAD = 1/ (gm1 + gmb1) and doesn’t ...

During the transition from the PMOS pair to the NMOS pair, and vice versa, there’s a crossover region at ≈1.8 V below the positive rail where both inputs are conducting (Fig. 3).

A hot discussion topic with single-supply operational amplifiersis whether they are capable of rail-to-rail input oroutput operation. Vendors of single-supply op amps claimtheir amplifiers have ...

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.

By Jeremy Zelenko Even as industry moves into the era of the high k metal gate (HKMG) and FinFET transistor, chipmakers continue to seek ways to improve device performance. One of the latest advances ...

The second generation of its XT018 super-junction high-voltage primitive devices, they cover 45 to 375V in one process module and are aimed at applications like medical ultrasound transmitter-receiver ...
