The super-junction structure, which has P-type pillar layers as shown left,
realizes high withstand voltage and ON-resistance lower than the conventional
theoretical limit of silicon.
Applying power to a standard logic chip, SRAM, or EPROM, usually results in output pinstracking the applied voltage as it rises. Programmable logic attempts to emulate that behavior,but physics forbids perfect emulation, due to the device programmability. It requires care tospecify the pin behavio ...
Today’s digital systems combine a myriad of chips with different voltage configurations.Designers must interface 2.5V processors with 3.3V memories—both RAM and ROM—as wellas 5V buses and multiple peripheral chips. Each chip has specific power supply needs. CPLDsare ideal for han ...
Frequently, voltage reference stability and noise defi nemeasurement limits in instrumentation systems. In particular,reference noise often sets stable resolution limits.Reference voltages have decreased with the continuingdrop in system power supply voltages, making referencenoise increa ...
Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors,disc drives, piezoelectric devices and digitally based systemsfurnish transient loads that a voltage regulator mustservice. Ideally, regulator output is invariant during a loadtransient. In practice, some variation is encountered andbeco ...
Automobiles, aircraft, marine vehicles, uninterruptiblepower supplies and telecom hardware represent areasutilizing series connected battery stacks. These stacksof individual cells may contain many units, reaching potentialsof hundreds of volts. In such systems it is oftendesirable to acc ...
