Transmitters are used to pass data stream through transmission lines in either current or voltage mode. In high data rate applications, the output impedance of transmitters should match the transmission lines’ characteristic impedance and should be tunable in order to compensate the process, voltage, and temperature variations. The multiplexing technique can be used to extend transmitters signa...

The properties of light-activated and voltage dependent conductances in the hyperpolarizing photoreceptors of the isolated retina of the giant scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) have been studied in whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings. Resting membrane potential of the cells was -35 to -60 mV in the dark. Large outward current was maintained during illumination when the cell was voltage clamped ...

Selector is indispensable to suppress leakage current for crossbar array of resistive random access memory. According to the nonlinear requirement, electron tunneling mechanism is firstly attempted. However, earlier studies discovered drawbacks of insufficient current density. This work aims at exploring the idealized characteristic of selector based on FowlerNordheim tunneling mechanism by sel...

Soft switching of DC-DC converter is done here. This is obtain good efficiency and to reduce the switching losses. Zero voltage switching reduces the switching losses in the circuit. This is done by using boost converter. Soft-switching characteristic of the proposed converter reduces switching loss of active power switches and raises the conversion efficiency. A voltage step-up function and a ...

We describe a theoretical approach to transport and a potentially valuable scheme for screening gate dielectric materials. Realistic structural models of the Si-dielectric interface are employed for Si-SiO2-Si model metal-oxide–semiconductor ~MOS! structures. The leakage current for a 1.02-nm MOS structure is calculated from first principles using Landauer’s ballistic transport approach and ab ...

The properties of a partially ionized plasma in a long cylindrical tube subject to a uniform axial electric field are investigated. The plasma is maintained by an external ionizing source balanced by bulk and surface recombinations. Collisions between neutrals, whose density greatly exceeds the density of charged particles, and of neutrals with ions, are sufficiently effective for their velocit...

Diodes formed by electrodeposition of the low-bandgap polymer poly(4-dicyano

Various semiconductor devices with an S-shaped current-voltage characteristic exhibit complex self-organized spatio-temporal spiking where a current lament nu-cleates and vanishes immediately afterwards. We analyze a simple generic model for this type of behaviour, and nd a variety of scenarios where stationary laments , homogeneous relaxation oscillations, periodic spiking and chaotic spiking ...
