When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...
Level-shifters are an indispensable circuit in multi-power-domain SoCs. Many techniques and architectures have been proposed to enhance the performance of these circuits. Inverter-based level shifters ...
