CMOS Technology Lab Analysis

The low level and high level voltages for CMOS logic families are different than TTL logic families. The low level input voltage is from 0 to 1.5 volts and high level input voltage is from 3.5 to 5 volts. For output low logic state ranges from 0 to 0.05 volts and high logic state ranges from 4.95 to 5 volts. The noise margin is high for CMOS circuits compared to TTL one which is 1.45 volts for low and high

Large output capacitor is omitted and the area of chip has decreased considerably because it used four 1pF capacitor in frequency compensation circuit. Resultant quiescent current under no loading conditions is 127µA, but because LDO does not need high PSRR under no loading conditions the quiescent current must measure in “standby” mode. Standby mode is defined by the state which the PSRR enhancer are removed under no loading conditions. Hence, the quiescent current is about 60µA in standby mode. Proposed LDO can work for an input voltage range of 1.8V to 2.2V with the dropout of 200mV, as depicted in Fig. 13.

was derived and a relationship between Vinv and Vc was obtained (see Fig. 2). Applying voltage balance

The comparison of above three algorithms for 8, 16 and 32 bit operands with corresponding voltage and frequency are tabulated in table I

In conclusion, the lab verified that digital comparators have 0 and 1 positions. When VP> VN the output is 0 and when VP< VN, the output is 1. This can be used in multiple ways when a true/false result is needed. For the circuit built, it was used three times, each one was a switch, but each one controlled something different, proving the versatility of digital circuits. The LED night light turned on when the light in the room was off, then after 20 seconds, the LED turned off as shown in figure 2, it also turned off if the light turned back

R/2R ladder present a easy way to convert digital voltage/information to analog for output. The R/2R ladder needs consideration to in what way the device is stated when applying to actual applications. In the makings of R/2R ladder, output faults due to resistor tolerances are most of the time not considered

Ics were made conceivable by test revelations demonstrating that semiconductor gadgets could perform the capacities of vacuum tubes and by mid-twentieth century innovation headways in semiconductor gadget creation. The combination of extensive amounts of modest transistors into a little chip was a colossal change over the manual get together of circuits utilizing discrete electronic segments. The coordinated circuit 's extensive manufactures ability, dependability, and building-square approach

Indeed, these devices belong to the so called semi-custom Application Specific Integer Circuits (ASICs). The latter low cost devices consist of predesigned (by the manufacturer) elementary cells and interconnections that can be programmed and interconnected by the user. This has the credit to allow rapid-prototyping solutions and make the design process more flexible and cheaper. This is not the case for full-custom ASICs, which are manufactured for a specific application and cannot be user

The continuous scaling of CMOS technology has broadened the spectrum of applications. Complex architectures can be now realized on a single chip. The integration of existing and new technologies with CMOS extends the scope of implementation.

The CA3140A and CA3140 are integrated circuit operational amplifiers that combine the advantages of high voltage PMOS transistors with high voltage bipolar transistors on a single monolithic chip. The CA3140A and CA3140 BiMOS operational amplifiers feature gate protected MOSFET (PMOS) transistors in the input circuit to provide very high input impedance, very low input current, and high speed performance. The CA3140A and CA3140 operate at supply voltage from 4V to 36V (either single or dual supply). These operational amplifiers are internally phase compensated to achieve stable operation in unity gain follower

The semiconductor industry constantly demanding greater features miniaturization, device density and lower cost. It has motivated the combination of analog circuit with digital subsystem. Analog circuits contain extremely sensitive circuits e.g. opamp and comparator which can take a few µvolt of signal at their input and convert them to several volts at their outputs. Digital circuits on the other hand operate with rapidly switching waveforms

[2] FinFETs have been proposed as a promising alternative for addressing the challenges posed by continued scaling. Fabrication of FinFETs is compatible with that of conventional CMOS, thus making possible very rapid deployment to manufacturing. Figure 1 shows the structure of a multi-fin FinFET. The FinFET device consists of a thin silicon body, the thickness of which is denoted by TSi, wrapped by gate electrodes. The current flows parallel to the wafer plane, whereas the channel is formed perpendicular to the plane of the wafer. Due to this reason, the device is termed quasi-planar. The independent control of the front and back gates of the FinFET is achieved by etching away the gate electrode at the top of the channel. The effective gate width of a FinFET is 2nm, where n is the number of fins and h is the fin height. Thus, wider transistors with higher on-currents are obtained by
