When designing with the coming generations of 3.3V PLDs, an understanding of the inherent characteristics of BiCMOS and pure-CMOS designs will help you optimize performance. The 3.3V supply issue no ...

Scientists from imec’s IDLab demonstrated a 120-Gbaud transmitter IC that implements a SiGe BiCMOS multiplexer, equalizer, and driver. The architecture significantly increases baud rate and has a high ...

Analog Devices’ modular BiCMOS process, developed at its Limerick design centre, will be used for industrial and automotive chips . Called iCMOS, for industrial CMOS, “what we have really done is take ...

With the exponential growth of AI computing needs, issues have grown around the performance and energy efficiency across computing, memory, power supply, and the interconnections linking them. ST is ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...

Ultrawideband technology has been selected to serve as the foundation for evolutionary extensions to several very successful protocols. However, the promise of ubiquitous, high-bandwidth ...

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced the availability of enhanced RF SOI CMOS and high speed SiGe process design kits (PDKs) for its ...

San Jose, CA (April 8, 2003) - Offering chip designers a low cost alternative for wireless applications, the foundry business unit of austriamicrosystems recently announced the availability of its ...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) announced on March 1 the availability of 0.35-micron BiCMOS (bipolar-complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process technology to its customers.

However, high-performance 3.3V PLDs have been notably absent from the scene. This scenario will change as a new generation of BiCMOS-based PLDs comes to market. To exploit these new devices, you'll ...
