There’s been a lot of interesting conversation and DI teamwork lately devising circuits for ON/OFF power control using inexpensive momentary-contact switches (See “Related Content” below). Wow the ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...

The MC1030 is a clocked dual D-type latch. Any change in the D input will be reflected at the output while the clock is low. The outputs are latched on the clock's ...

Freescale Semiconductor India Pvt. Ltd. Scannability has always been a challenge and with the complex architectures, challenges gets multifold by imposing several limitations like HOLD closure, yield ...

Mechanical switches are pretty easy to understand—the contacts touch, the current flows, and Bob is, presumably, your uncle. But what about soft switches? Well, they’re not that difficult to ...
