Logical- and physical-synthesis tools have revolutionized digital-ASIC design over the past decade, increasing chip functions and designer productivity. However, many of today's SOC (system-on-chip) ...
Why discretes tend to win out over ICs when it comes to designing ‘folded cascode’ charge amplifiers. By Tolga Aydemir Integrated circuits (ICs) are vital in helping to reduce the cost, size and ...
The objective of this project was to design a two stage operational amplifier to meet a list of given specifications using the TSMC 0.18 micron short channel process. All bias voltages were generated ...
Dynamic-biasing technology, which practically triples the efficiency of the amplifier stage, can cut both power consumption and cost in microwave equipment. Many considerations go into the deployment ...
