As IC design complexity and sensitivity rises and operating voltages fall, the use of constant (average) chip temperature models can lead to over-design or multiple design spins. The variation in ...

Design of power/driver ICs in compliance with latchup qualification requirements involves a conceptually different approach in comparison with digital LV (low voltage) ICs. The LV ICs’ electrostatic ...

Analog designers have always had to worry about physical layout to get good matching of devices. Variations in doping levels across the chip, usually assumed to be in a gradient in one or two ...

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...
