The inverters in a CMOS CD4069 can be used for both analog as well as digital applications. This Design Idea illustrates this by using all six inverters in a 4069 package to make a closed loop, ...

Applications ranging from frequency counting and synthesis to sensor signal conditioning require conversion of RF signals to digital-logic levels. In such situations, designers typically use a ...

A new technical paper titled “Vertical-Stack Nanowire Structure of MOS Inverter and TFET Inverter in Low-temperature Application” was published by researchers at National Tsing Hua University and ...

The integration of analog with digital and the increase number of on-chip features in mixed-signal controllers demand more complex I/O structures. Though they are sometimes some of the most neglected ...

[Dr. Shane] asks the question: what happens if you connect the output of an inverter logic gate back to the input? In theory, it doesn’t make sense, but depending on the gate’s physical construction, ...

This graphic depicts a new electronic device created at Purdue that uses germanium as the semiconductor instead of silicon. Germanium is one material being considered to replace silicon in future ...

At the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) International Electronic Devices Conference (IEDM) held in San Francisco from December 9th to 13th, 2023, Intel, Samsung, and TSMC ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A laboratory at Purdue University provided a critical part of the world's first transistor in 1947 - the purified germanium semiconductor - and now researchers here are on the ...
