Although white LEDs are common in a variety of lighting applications, their 3 to 4 V forward-voltage drop makes low-voltage applications challenging. Charge pumps and other ICs are available for driving white LEDs, but they generally don’t work with the low supply voltage of 1.5 V in single-cell-battery applications. The low-voltage circuit of Figure 1 provides […]

R Colin Johnson @ edn.com discuss about the future of IC design and the different technologies that can extend Moore Law. Such technologies include 3D memories, superconducting, quantum, neuromorphic and photonic mixed-signal devices. To celebrate 60 years of EDN, we’re looking into the future to predict what advancements will be made in IC Design in […]
