Figure 1 To prevent latchup in CMOS chips you can put high-value resistors between the inputs and outputs (a). Another solution is to put Schottky diode clamps in the wires to prevent them from going ...

CMOS devices have large input impedance with input currents on the order of 0.01nA. Adding feedback circuitry can result in a latch-like device that can be used to store bits, and also operate in a ...

In this paper, we propose a novel costoptimized and robust latch, namely CRLHQ, hardened against quadruple-node-upsets (QNUs) for nanoscale CMOS technology. The latch mainly comprises a 5×5 matrix ...

The new field-free switching concept opens possibilities for the further development of MRAM-based technologies and non-volatile logic and memory applications (such as non-volatile latch circuits and ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip flops ...
