Density and speed of IC’s have increased exponentially for several decades, following a trend described by Moore’s Law. While it is accepted that this exponential improvement trend will end, it is ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

Any typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions implementation. Naturally, CMOS always ought to provide INVERTED outputs like ...

With the advancement in semiconductor technology, chip density and operating frequency are increasing, so the power consumption in VLSI circuits has become a major problem of consideration. More power ...

In this paper, the authors discuss the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a decoder. The layout was designed by using an open source software namely electric VLSI design system as the ...
