Impact of a Decoupling Capacitor in a CMOS Inverter Circuit
This article discusses CMOS inverter switching and shows the impact of a decoupling capacitor on the power rail signal integrity and radiated emissions.
Designing with Capacitive Touch for Commodity Applications
This article examines the different parts of capacitive touch design and provides a checklist of what to look for when designing a product.
ESD Device Modeling: Part 1
ESD models may be used for simulating on-chip integrated circuits or system (board) level circuits with discrete electronic components like diodes, TVS devices, and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs).
Why Tunnel FETs?
The answer to this question is linked with breakdown of Moore’s law and Dennard’s scaling theory.
