The inverters in a CMOS CD4069 can be used for both analog as well as digital applications. This Design Idea illustrates this by using all six inverters in a 4069 package to make a closed loop, ...

Applications ranging from frequency counting and synthesis to sensor signal conditioning require conversion of RF signals to digital-logic levels. In such situations, designers typically use a ...

New technical paper titled “New ternary inverter with memory function using silicon feedback field-effect transistors” was published from researchers at Korea University. In this study, we present a ...

Single-chip transmitters proposed by some IC manufacturers have good electrical performance, but they're often plagued by some drawbacks. For instance, they're hard to find in small quantities. Also, ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...

While digital on-die point-of-load converters are trending, analogue designs are far from finished. Digital low-dropout (DLDO) regulators appeared a few years ago and looked to be the future for ...
