X-FAB has added three new low-noise transistors to its 180nm process node: a 1.8 V low-noise NMOS, a 3.3 V low-noise NMOS and a 3.3 V low-noise PMOS – all of which offer drastically reduced flicker ...

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a seven-channel, NMOS low-side driver, replacing standard Darlington transistor arrays with a power-efficient, drop-in compatible integrated circuit. The TPL7407L ...

The real world may be analog, but the world of advanced semiconductor processing is decidedly digital. As new processes come on-line, foundries focus their initial efforts on digital applications.

Designers rely on the accuracy of Process Design Kits (PDK¡¦s) for their IC designs. This paper describes independent verification of the PDK accuracy using a low-cost Die Level Process Monitor (DLPM) ...

If you have designed blocks in submicron technologies you realize that supply voltages make circuit designs difficult. In the newer technologies, the supply voltage continues to shrink. So how does an ...

Advanced process technologies, such as 90nm, 65nm, 45nm and below, present significant power management challenges for high performance semiconductors. Chip designers face increasing challenges in ...
