This article explores key mixed-signal applications, highlighting the difference between signal-path faults and rail-driven ...

Digital transition switching is the primary cause of noise in mixed-signal devices. Signal noise and immunity to power, ground, and substrate noise all benefit from using differential circuits. Design ...

The part 4 of this article series looked at the operation of the 3T and 5T charge-transfer pixels in some detail. The characteristics of the pixel were examined during reset and charge integration. We ...

Multi-frequency-region parallel sensing (MFRPS) is poised to enable larger-sized, thinner, and more responsive touchscreens.

Reports on the recent Target and Neiman Marcus breaches have indicated that, in both cases, there were numerous alerts fired as a result of the intrusion activity. Yet, according to news accounts, the ...

Every modern computer has a microprocessor in it, but not many have a digital signal processor (DSP). Since the CPU is a digital device, it clearly processes digital data, so you might wonder what the ...

To achieve gains in power, performance, area, and cost, 3D-IC architectures are pushing electronics design to new limits. Silicon integration technology and associated devices have undergone an ...
