In the natural world, snakes possess a unique “superpower”. Using specialized “pit organs”, they can detect infrared radiation, generating thermal images of prey even in total darkness. This ...

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 ...

Spirea AB is a Swedish fabless semiconductor company developing highly integrated low-power, low-cost radio solutions for the Wireless LAN and PAN markets. This article describes how we assembled a ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have announced the demonstration of a high-speed spin-orbit-torque (SOT) MRAM cell compatible with 300 mm Si CMOS technology. The demand for low-power and ...

If you leave signals applied to the inputs of a CMOS chip with the power turned off, the chip might explode when you re-apply power. This is called latchup. Similarly, if you drag the outputs of a ...

The Bandgap Reference (BGR) circuit is a key element in Very-large-scale Integration (VLSI) designs, providing a stable reference voltage that is crucial for the performance and reliability of analog ...
