This paper presents a digital design flow in order to design high performance differential Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) circuits efficiently. The proposed flow is similar to the ordinary digital CMOS ...

Sophisticated smart meters use IC technology to accurately measure and report power consumption. A primary concern in smart meter design is measurement data integrity. The most effective solution to ...

The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX.

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

Scaling analog circuits and data converters in CMOS has always been a daunting task for designers. But those hurdles get taller as developers begin migrating toward design rules of 0.25 µm and below ...

In recent years we have begun to see references to “RF” CMOS processes and to “RF” models for those processes. This article will explore what the real meanings of such “RF” designations are, and what ...

January 13, 2025 -- Alphacore is developing a state-of-the-art ground-penetrating radar (GPR) transceiver. This application-specific IC (ASIC) comprises multiple leading-edge technologies, making it ...
