Quickly learn what the difference is between PMOS and NMOS transistors in their structure and operation, and how CMOS works with the two in combination. Siliwiz, a free, browser-based, ASIC layout ...

For years—decades, in fact—the NMOS transistor world has been on cruise control. NMOS is naturally faster and its performance has scaled better than PMOS. PMOS has had a cost advantage. But lately, it ...

PMOS transistors are less vulnerable to substrate noise since they’re placed in separate wells; designers implement guard rings to attenuate the substrate noise propagation. However, substrate noise ...

For many decades, progress in electronics has been driven by a gradual reduction in the size of silicon transistors (electronic switches). However, this scaling is becoming increasingly difficult and ...

In our previous post Low Power LDO Design Techniques for Really Small Profile Applications, Part 1, we reviewed LDO design tradeoffs using an NMOS pass transistor. This design approach is proven good ...

—The development of a process flow capable of demonstrating functionality of a monolithic complementary FET (CFET) transistor architecture is complex due to the need to vertically separate nMOS and ...

A key challenge to the ultra-miniaturization of electronic systems is power management. As any EE knows, when overall system sizes shrink the amount of area available for energy storage and energy ...
