If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...
High-voltage level shifters and gate drivers form critical interfaces within power converters, enabling low-voltage control circuits to drive high-voltage power stages reliably and efficiently. These ...
Low power high performance designs have become a recent trend in modern SoC design community. Often multiple voltage domains are being created in order to cater the need of low power requirements and ...
