Detect wire breaks with unusual CMOS gate circuit

CMOS devices have large input impedance with input currents on the order of 0.01nA. Adding feedback circuitry can result in a latch-like device that can be used to store bits, and also operate in a ...

Power management can cause latchup in CMOS chips

If you leave signals applied to the inputs of a CMOS chip with the power turned off, the chip might explode when you re-apply power. This is called latchup. Similarly, if you drag the outputs of a ...

The Development of CMOS Image Sensors

It was suggested during the early 1990’s that Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) were slowly becoming extinct and therefore were considered as ‘technological dinosaurs’ 1. Furthermore, in 2015 the Sony ...
