Smaller geometry nodes offer cost and performance advantages that encourage their adoption. Yet they present a new set of challenges for IC manufacturers: Though transistors are smaller, they leak ...

Over the last decade or so, power consumption has become a major issue in the design of many types of electronic products. Of course, power has always mattered for battery-operated devices, but the ...

In today’s semiconductor designs, lower power consumption is mandatory for mobile and handheld applications for longer battery life and even networking or storage devices for low carbon footprint ...

Power tends to cost; high power costs highly. This rather forced adaptation of Lord Acton’s famous quote captures two important aspects of semiconductor design and power consumption. Looking at ...

What you’ll learn: How oscilloscope-based packages improve bring-up, debugging, and validating power converters as well as help engineers achieve faster and more repeatable measurements. How analysis ...

Low statistical power undermines the purpose of scientific research; it reduces the chance of detecting a true effect. Perhaps less intuitively, low power also reduces the likelihood that a ...
