Engineers choose CMOS/biCMOS logic to be “green” and reduce power consumption. CMOS and biCMOS only draw power on transitions, so those circuits run cool at slow speeds. So why is the board hot?

As you might guess from the name, the clock uses CMOS logic, based around a 12 bit counter, to provide the divider circuits 24 (daily) and 60 (minutes and seconds).

Non-volatile bistable memory circuits being developed by Satoshi Sugahara and his team at Tokyo Tech pave the way for highly energy-efficient CMOS logic systems. The details are described in the ...

Researchers have developed a series of high-performance, GaN-based CMOS logic circuits, which all display the desired “CMOS-like” characteristics. They project that these circuits could cut ...

There is one thing that unites almost every computer and logic circuit commonly used in the hardware hacking and experimentation arena. No matter what its age, speed, or internal configuration, ele… ...

The circuits successfully performed the sum-of-product operation at 2.8 kHz. The full potential of memristors was demonstrated when the devices were made to actively re-program themselves.

Low power design has become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit development, driven by energy efficiency demands and the challenges of scaling in nanometre technologies. Innovations in ...

What does CMOS transistor actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...
