What’s All This Subthreshold Stuff, Anyhow?

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 ...

CMOS transistors achieve quad data rate via oversampling

Researchers at NEC Electronics (Santa Clara, CA) have achieved quad-data-rate transfers from the same CMOS transistors previously used for double data rate. In a recent ISSCC paper, the researchers ...

Reconfigurable transistors can be programmed to execute different functions

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...
