When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have experimentally demonstrated how to harness a property called negative capacitance for a new type of transistor that could reduce power consumption, validating a ...

Negative capacitance field-effect transistors (NCFETs) represent a transformative approach in the design of low-power electronic devices. By integrating ferroelectric materials into the gate structure ...

Australian researchers have discovered that negative capacitance could lower the energy used in electronics and computing, which represents 8% of global electricity demand. The researchers at four ...

Improved MOSFET technology enables a hard-switching PWM, the interleaved two-transistor forward converter, to approach the efficiency and power density of the popular phase-shift ZVS bridge converter ...

Stable regulation of output voltage is an operational imperative of linear regulators. While this topic has been discussed in the past (Reference 1 and Reference 2), this article provides a practical, ...

The first step in designing a microwave frequency power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit on a given GaN foundry process is to select the transistor size and bias, writes Liam Devlin.

In power supplies, dc-dc converters and many other power electronics circuits, chokes and transformers form an essential part of the filter network that provides low-ripple dc power. In many designs, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have experimentally demonstrated how to harness a property called negative capacitance for a new type of transistor that could reduce power consumption, validating a theory ...
