Understanding Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Technology

Source: Content from the world of lithographers, thank you! The history of integrated circuits began with TI’s first Flip-Flop circuit in 1958, which was made up of only two transistors forming an inverter. Today, we have CPUs with billions of transistors, all thanks to the continuous technological advancement in the semiconductor manufacturing industry that allows … Read more

Low Power Design Techniques

Low Power Design Techniques

There are many methods for low power design, but the most mature ones currently are gated power supply, multi-threshold voltage, and clock gating. Gated power supply technology involves adding a PMOS transistor between the pull-up network made of PMOS and VDD in some static CMOS circuits, or adding an NMOS transistor between the pull-down network … Read more

Understanding TTL, CMOS, and RS232 Levels

Understanding TTL, CMOS, and RS232 Levels

1. TTL Levels: TTL level signals are most commonly used because data representation typically follows binary rules, where +5V is equivalent to logic ‘1’ and 0V is equivalent to logic ‘0’. This is known as the TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) signal system, which is the standard technology for communication between various components within devices controlled by … Read more

Research Progress: Multi-Aperture VCSELs of Varying Size and Shape

Research Progress: Multi-Aperture VCSELs of Varying Size and Shape

Multi-Aperture VCSELs of Varying Size and Shape Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) present the basis for large data rate optical interconnects in data centers. Presently VCSELs have replaced edge-emitting lasers for distances below 500m due to their advantages such as on-wafer test possibility. The demand for VCSELs and in particular, arrays has most recently … Read more
