This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

It’s time to do a series on logic including things such as programmable logic, state machines, and the lesser known demons such as switching hazards. It is best to start at the beginning — but even ...

For a 2-input NOR gate, the minimum leakage value of 0.01204 nW is when both inputs are tied to ‘1’. In the same way, all spare logic can be connected to minimize leakage. The proposed flow was tested ...
