BUDGE ING, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. [email protected] Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an ...

Complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOSs) with low area requirement, power dissipation, and reliability characteristics are integrated into nanosystems for better performance. However, quantum ...

Comparators are subject to input offset errors that can be either systematic or layout related. Two applications of comparators in a PWM controller are detecting when there is no current in the ...

My last column (“Designing with comparators,” EDN, March 29, 2001, pg 56) discussed basic comparator theory, and this column adds hysteresis to comparators to eliminate multiple switching on the ...

In VLSI applications, area, delay and power are the important factors which must be taken into account in the design of a fast adder. The paper attempts to examine the features of certain adder ...

Living cells implement complex computations on the continuous environmental signals that they encounter. These computations involve both analogue- and digital-like processing of signals to give rise ...
