Low-power IC design techniques have been around for quite a while. They weren’t always required, though they were nice to have. The rapid growth of the consumer market for battery-powered devices has ...

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 ...

The ongoing evolution of wireless communications has placed a premium on energy efficiency, particularly in applications such as the Internet of Things and short-range wireless systems. Low-power CMOS ...

The world of a photovoltaic system and its power inverter is harsh; isolation can help meet some of the unavoidable challenges. How you implement that isolation affects long-term reliability as well ...
