In this paper we consider transistor sizing to reduce crosstalk. First, crosstalk noise dependency on wire width, wire spacing, driver and receiver sizes are discussed, and validated by experiments. Then transistor sizing for timing and noise is discussed and solved using optimization techniques. Experimental results suggest that crosstalk violations can be removed by transistor sizing with ver...

A system for the generation of short electrical pulses based on the minority carrier charge storage and the step recovery effect of bipolar transistors is presented. Electrical pulses of about 90 ps up to 800 ps duration are generated with a maximum amplitude of approximately 7 V at 50. The bipolar transistor is driven into saturation and the base-collector and base-emitter junctions become fo...

In this paper, Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is used to study the linear time-invariant transistor circuit. The results obtained using Adomian Decomposition Method and the methods taken from the literature [5] were compared with the exact solutions of the linear time-invariant transistor circuit. It is found that the solution obtained using the Adomian Decomposition Method is closer to the...

We used an ensemble Monte Carlo simulator to study both the dc and transient behavior of a double gate silicon-on-insulator transistor sDGSOId operated as a velocity modulation transistor sVMTd and as a conventional field effect transistor sFETd. Operated as a VMT, the DGSOI transistor provides switching times shorter than 1 ps regardless of the channel length, with a significant current modula...

Partition noise is closely related to reset noise and has been observed in detection nodes of reset transistor architecture in image sensors. This work presents the analysis of partition noise based on an improved technique for estimation of charge distribution in the transistor channel at any given time instant. We incorporate the transistor turn off transients by taking into account both drif...

In this paper the performance of 8-transistor based Full adder is analyzed, evaluated, and compared with that of three different types of Full Adders based on Complementary Pass Transistor XOR Logic gate. Simulation results using nano-scale SPICE parameters are obtained for the above mentioned FAs. It is shown that the performance of the 8-transistor based Full adder in term of power dissipatio...

Leakage power is increasingly gaining importance with technology scaling. Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technology has become a popular technique for standby power reduction. Sleep transistor insertion in circuits is an effective application of MTCMOS technology for reducing leakage power. In this paper we present a fine grained approach where each gate in the circuit is provided an independent...

In this paper, a new method of transistor chaining for 1-D automatic leaf cell synthesis is presented. The method allows synthesis of cells suitable for row-based layouts with no restrictions imposed on network topologies/transistor sizes. The novelty of the solution arises from transistor chaining with integrated dynamic transistor folding. We provide the theoretical analysis of transistor fol...

Nanodevices based circuit design will be based on the acceptance that a high percentage of devices in the design will be defective. In this work, we investigate a defect tolerant technique that adds redundancy at the transistor level and provides built-in immunity to permanent defects (stuck-open, stuck-short and bridges). The proposed technique is based on replacing each transistor by N 2 -tra...

Introduction This application note is focused on exploiting the RF design capabilities of HFA3046/3096/3127/3128 transistor arrays. Detailed design procedures, using these transistor arrays, for a matched (800MHz to 2500MHz) high-gain low-noise amplifier and a 10MHz to 600MHz wideband feedback amplifier are described. The HFA3046, HFA3096, HFA3127, HFA3128 transistor arrays are fabricated in a ...
