When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

This application note describes ways to estimate power dissipation of individual CMOS logic devices in a system. It will help users determine if their designs raise any power dissipation concerns. Due ...

Verification expert Lauro Rizzatti recently interviewed Jean-Marie Brunet, senior marketing director, Scalable Verification Solutions Division (SVSD), Siemens EDA, about the importance of accurate ...

Given the many varieties of advanced power devices available, choosing the right power device for an application can be a daunting task. For solar inverter applications, it is well known that ...

The pressure to build energy saving servers and data centers is tremendous. As a result, aggressive targets have been set by regulatory agencies like EPA and by technologists. After nearly two years ...
