Engineers considermany forms ofcurrent leakagein electronicsystems tobe unusable.This thinkingis starting to change asdesigners begin to explorenew frontiers in ultra-low-powerdevices through ...

As a part of JST PRESTO program, Associate professor Masaharu Kobayashi, Institute of industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, has experimentally clarified the operation mechanism of low voltage ...

Back in 1999, Bob Pease touched on the operation of CMOS transistors in subthreshold mode. In his article, he pointed out that analog designers can use CMOS ICs such as the CD4007, a dual matched pair ...

The quest to achieve ever-lower operating voltage and lower power consumption levels in circuit design is a trend that has placed difficult challenges on electrical engineers as they run up against ...

An improved SPICE model has been developed by Fairchild engineers for the simulation of trench power devices using the BSIM3 MOSFET model. The new model architecture seeks to eliminate shortcomings in ...

As power consumption has become one of the most important metrics of CPU design, we've seen a variety of methods proposed for lowering CPU TDP. Intel makes extensive use of dynamic voltage and ...
