PMOS transistors are less vulnerable to substrate noise since they’re placed in separate wells; designers implement guard rings to attenuate the substrate noise propagation. However, substrate noise ...

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 ...

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 ...

On a conventional CMOS process (see figure 1), NMOS devices are formed in a P well or substrate connected to ground (or the most negative supply in the circuit). PMOS devices are formed in an N well ...

Designing an integrated circuit (IC) for communication, computing, gaming, and other emerging applications is a multi-million dollar project, requiring rigorous design methodology and substantial ...

Ready for 48V automotive power architectures, the L98GD8 driver from STMicroelectronics has eight fully configurable channels for driving MOSFETs in flexible high-side and low-side configurations.

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...

Device scaling is getting much harder at each new process node. Even defining what it means is becoming a challenge. In the past, gate length and metal pitch went down and device density went up.

The adoption rate of analogue switches continues to increase across a broad range of end equipment including consumer electronics (mobile and audio applications), industrial systems and networking ...
