First let’s look at the use of CMOS gates as memory devices. Figure 1 shows a one-bit transparent latch. A single CD4069 hex inverter can make a 3-bit latch, or if one uses a CD4050 hex buffer one can ...

can actually be disastrous for an unprotected CMOS circuit. A simple spark or otherwise invisible charge can ruin a MOS based device by punching holes in the gate insulation. Another problem ...

Introduction to CMOS circuits including transmission gate, inverter, NAND, NOR gates, MUXEs, latches and registers. MOS transistor theory including threshold voltage and design equations. CMOS ...

For example, only two transistors are needed for both the OR and AND gates, whereas a total of six transistors are needed in the corresponding conventional CMOS circuit 27,28. This savings in the ...

Power, thresholds, and circuit bias As CMOS gets smaller, gate oxides become thinner, and power-supply voltages consequently decrease. State-of-the-art CMOS now requires less than 2.5V. However, ...

Hybrid reconfigurable logic circuits were fabricated by integrating memristor ... bits and switches in a data routing network and were connected to gate-level CMOS components that acted as logic ...

while pMOS transistors conduct current when the gate voltage is low. This complementary behavior is exploited in CMOS circuit design to create a system where only one type of transistor is on and ...

These polarity-configurable thin-film transistors (PC-TFTs) enable flexible, adaptive CMOS circuits suitable for wearables, ...

A layout-dependent circuit-design model from Toshiba helps boost gate density and improve cost-performance in next-generation 45-nm CMOS technology. More specifically, 45-nm CMOS gate density can ...

Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research ...
