The transistor, an invention that heralded a new era in electronics, is the key component of practically all integrated circuits (ICs) and microprocessors. The point-contact transistor that Walter H.

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 ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

Using CMOS Gates to create crystal oscillators is cost-effective and gives the designer more control over the parameters. To view the application note, click on the URL below. Circuit selected for www ...

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – AUGUST 20, 2024 – Quantum computing company Diraq announced it has demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99 percent fidelity of two-qubit gates in the SiMOS ...

The most widely used integrated circuit (IC) technology. Although the term CMOS "transistor" is widely used, it is somewhat misleading because in order to reduce power consumption, CMOS is actually ...

Texas Instrument's Richard Zarr reviews the differences between Silicon-Germanium BiCMOS and small-geometry CMOS when it comes to driving high-speed data transmission lines. The CMOS process was the ...

Chipmakers continue to scale the CMOS transistor to finer geometries, but the question is for how much longer. The current thinking is that the CMOS transistor could scale at least to the 3nm node in ...
