These are some of the commonly encountered questions regarding designing a Differential Amplifier – If you want to learn the basic design steps of a differential amplifier, then click here Q-1) When the design technology node changes, say from 180nm to 90nm, what are process-dependent parameters whose values would be changed? A- On the change…
Differential Amplifier is an electronic circuit which amplifies the difference between two input voltage, but rejects any signal common to both the inputs [Source]. Following is the circuit for Designing a Differential Amplifier- You may also face these questions while designing a differential amplifier. Differential Amplifier can be designed by following 5 simple steps –…
Memory devices are something which retain data for a time period just like human brain. This post classifies the Semiconductor Memories and maps different memory devices to Computer Memories. Semiconductor Memories Semiconductor Memories can be classified based on two different characteristics: (i) Access Type (ii) Data Retention Capability Note: Hard-Disk, CD, DVD, Floppy-Disk, Magnetic Tape are also…

Static CMOS circuits use complementary nMOS pulldown and pMOS pullup networks to implement logic gates or logic functions in integrated circuits. Dynamic gates use a clocked pMOS pullup. The implemented logic function or the logic gate is achieved through 2 modes of operation: Precharge and Evaluate. Advantages of dynamic logic circuits: 1) The number of…
