Design of power/driver ICs in compliance with latchup qualification requirements involves a conceptually different approach in comparison with digital LV (low voltage) ICs. The LV ICs’ electrostatic ...

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 ...

CMOS technology has dominated the IC business for the last 25 years and will continue to do so for another 25 years, according to the author of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation. He explains ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

FinFETs form the foundation for many of today’s semiconductor fabrication techniques but also create significant design concerns that affect your layout. Understanding the changes and design ...
