Introduction Power-on-reset (POR) usually places devices in known, ready-to-operate configurations. POR thus sounds simple and in the vast majority of cases it works well. But when it fails, POR c...

Introduction: During the desktop PC design era, VLSI design efforts have focused primarily on optimizing speed to realize computationally intensive real-time functions such as video compression, ga...

Introduction: Product development cycle time is always crucial for any company in any business. In the present era of continuous enhancements in wireless communication, computing, consumer electron...

Abstract: Power-electronics engineers designing switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are faced with the challenges of limited space, the need to meet worldwide energy regulations, and ease of design...

Introduction ARM Cortex processor core is based on ARM RISC processor architecture version called ARMv7. The assembly language instruction set and other details of this ARM architecture is avail...

Introduction: Power MOSFETs are critical components in high voltage switching in AC/DC and DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters. Below is the brief selection guide to select Power MOSFETs for yo...

One of the most promising nanotechnologies which can replace the present transistor based CMOS technology is the Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata. The major advantages of this technology are lesser ...

While Moore's Law states that the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit should double every two years, this is getting harder and harder to achieve, as transistors reach atomi...

As LED becomes popular for indoor lighting solutions, cost structure has become a critical factor. A simple flyback converter is one of best candidates for low-cost LED lighting. However, switching...

Noise analysis is very important in many analog and RF receiver circuit design since the received signals are very weak. In case of differential amplifiers the noise appear as common mode signal an...

Introduction The mobile application space is exploding. Users increasingly turn to smartphones and tablets to consume and create content, whether on the go or on the couch. As a result, today'...
