To meet the demands for the multi-band, multi-mode wireless standards in the current market, a highly integrated wireless receiver (RX) is desired. CMOS technology has become the technology of choice ...

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 ...

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 ...

It was suggested during the early 1990’s that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were slowly becoming extinct and therefore were considered as ‘technological dinosaurs’ 1. Furthermore, in 2015 the Sony ...

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: ...

Sophisticated smart meters use IC technology to accurately measure and report power consumption. A primary concern in smart meter design is measurement data integrity. The most effective solution to ...

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 ...
