It’s Hot, Powering, And Burning CMOS Logic Circuits

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 ...

A short primer on analog current conveyor circuits

Current conveyor (CC) circuits are among the most common current-mode circuits and are used as critical building blocks in a variety of complex circuits. Unlike voltage-mode circuits, current-mode ...

Stable pulse generator uses matched transistors in a current mirror

Using CMOS gates to generatepulses sometimes causes timinguncertainty due to gate-threshold variations.For accurate pulse widths, youcan use BJTs (bipolar-junction transistors).Basing the design on ...
