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 ...
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 ...
Even as industry moves into the era of the high k metal gate (HKMG) and FinFET transistor, chipmakers continue to seek ways to improve device performance. One of the latest advances and the subject of ...
A low-dropout (LDO) regulator is a simple, inexpensive way to generate a regulated output voltage from a higher-voltage input. It’s inherently low-noise because it has no switching transients, and it ...
As cellular phones become more complex, more power is consumed by both active and standby systems. Consequently, power-management design for portable wireless devices imposes new challenges in the ...
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium – September 13, 2004-- CISSOID S.A. is announcing the release of its High-temperature 1Amp Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator Family (CHT-LDO) for Oil&Gas, Aeronautics, Space ...
X-Fab Silicon Foundries has added 375V power transistors to the devices available from its 180nm deep trench isolation BCD-on-SoI platform chip fab. The second generation of its XT018 super-junction ...
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 ...
