Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple design domains involved. But, creating an edge device that combines the electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a ...

In recent years we have begun to see references to “RF” CMOS processes and to “RF” models for those processes. This article will explore what the real meanings of such “RF” designations are, and what ...

The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX.

Technologists describe a straight port of an existing bulk CMOS design to FD-SOI at the same node, obtaining the value of fully depleted SOI for a modest redesign effort. November 16th, 2012 - By: ...

SuVolta has revealed a bit more about their Deeply Depleted Channel (DDC) low power, CMOS transistor technology designed for embedded SoCs (System-on-chip). SuVolta's PowerShrink transistor (see DDC ...

One of the few non-CMOS circuits left in wireless devices like cell phones these days is the power amplifier (PA). Most wireless radios use gallium-arsenide (GaAs) bipolar PAs, which up to now have ...

If the Wireless LAN market is still growing, Wireless LAN solutions are already in a cost reduction phase. Conceiving WLAN solutions nowadays requires a high-level approach where the final chipset may ...

The demand for power-sensitive design has grown significantly in recent years due to tremendous growth in portable applications. Consequently, the need for power efficient design techniques has grown ...
