Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology has dominated the solid-state electronics industry for nearly half a century. Engineers in this field are used to dealing with skepticism over ...

Near-threshold computing has long been used for power-sensitive devices, but some surprising, unrelated advances are making it much easier to deploy. While near-threshold logic has been an essential ...

In this design idea logic elements consisting of two nodes—an input resistive matrix and a threshold module, operating on the basis of fractional logic principles—are proposed. Fractional logic ...

Before the era of large-scale integration (LSI) semiconductor circuits, discrete logic circuits using the common diode-transistor logic (DTL) were still necessary and available in a format that was ...

What is a Setup and Hold Time Violation? Typically, a production chip consists of several million flip-flops and billions of transistors. All these flops must strictly adhere to a couple of timing ...
