The adoption of finFET technology has created a tectonic shift in the chip design landscape. In addition to better performance (within the same power envelope) and higher reliability, finFETs have ...

Shenzhen, Zhenjiang, Xiamen and Nanchang – approached developing low-carbon policies over the course of almost a decade ...

A CMOS device has very low static power consumption which occurs when all the inputs are at some valid logic level and the device is not switching. Static power consumption is a function of supply ...

Low-power IC design techniques have been around for quite a while. They weren’t always required, though they were nice to have. The rapid growth of the consumer market for battery-powered devices has ...

A surge of electronic devices powered by batteries, combined with ever-increasing demand for more features, intelligence, and performance, is putting a premium on chip designs that require much lower ...

Circuits that carry femtoamperes of current have many subtleties that you wouldn’t normally consider in the design and layout of conventional circuitry. If you overlook these subtleties, the circuit ...

Key considerations for using a low current source include the maxi­mum current, minimum current, and step resolution; the output settling time required; and the level of voltage compliance needed. It ...

When Pat DeLeeuw, a retired vice provost at Boston College, and her husband, Richard Jenson, a retired math professor who taught at the school, were ready to downsize from their four-bedroom ...
