The effects of cosmic rays were once discussed in “Doubled-up MOSFETs“. The idea was that component redundancy, paired MOSFETs in that case, would allow one MOSFET to still function even if its ...

This application note presents the MOSFET/IGBT drivers theory and its applications. The document describes an introduction of the MOSFET and IGBT technology, the types of drivers, isolation techniques ...

Physical verification is an essential step in integrated circuit (IC) design verification. Foundries provide design rule manuals that specify the precise physical requirements needed to ensure the ...

2.5D/3D integrated circuits (ICs) have evolved into an innovative solution for many IC design and integration challenges. As shown in figure 1, 2.5D ICs have multiple dies placed side-by-side on a ...
