Digital processing is our preferred way to manipulate data, as it gives us unparalleled flexibility. However, as the volume of information increases, fully digital electronic solutions are ...

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 ...

PMOS transistors are less vulnerable to substrate noise since they’re placed in separate wells; designers implement guard rings to attenuate the substrate noise propagation. However, substrate noise ...

Whether in the on or off state as the potential of the collector increases, the potential of the N-CS layer or N-Drift region in the DT-CSTBT also increases. When this potential rises to the threshold ...

Designers of electronics and communications systems are constantly faced with the challenge of integrating greater functionality on less silicon area. Many of the system blocks – such as power ...

Analog circuitry is usually a small part of a large SoC, but it does not scale in the same way as digital circuitry under Moore’s Law. The power consumed by analog is becoming an increasing concern, ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...
