Total power lost due to chip leakage is an increasingly important IC parameter. One of the most common methods of reducing it is to use a multiple-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) cell to turn the power supply ...

Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...
