Engineers considermany forms ofcurrent leakagein electronicsystems tobe unusable.This thinkingis starting to change asdesigners begin to explorenew frontiers in ultra-low-powerdevices through ...
As our electronics continue to proliferate and become more sophisticated, the race continues for more power efficient and scaleable semiconductor devices — components that use minimal power while ...
This basic differential amplifier, while appearing not very complicated, is unconventional in that it operates the EPAD MOSFET devices in the subthreshold region. Therefore it requires a different ...
As power consumption has become one of the most important metrics of CPU design, we've seen a variety of methods proposed for lowering CPU TDP. Intel makes extensive use of dynamic voltage and ...
An improved SPICE model has been developed by Fairchild engineers for the simulation of trench power devices using the BSIM3 MOSFET model. The new model architecture seeks to eliminate shortcomings in ...
While the continued scaling of transistor dimensions has kept pace with Moore’s law, the voltages applied to these devices has not scaled in tandem, giving rise to ever-increasing heating challenges ...
Robert L. Chao, founder, President and CEO of Advanced Linear Devices, Inc (ALD), is a talented innovator. Chao’s latest improvement in zero-threshold precision MOSFET technology will enable designers ...
