[From the last episode: We looked at leakage current that happens when transistors aren’t totally off.] We’ve talked before about the simplicity of – on or off – and how that’s something of an oversimplification due to leakage. We also saw the assertion that, with a physical , if there’s […]

[From the last episode: we looked at the concept of dynamic power – which applies to CMOS even though static power is zero. (Or is it?…)] So far, we’ve seen a pretty ideal world where, with the mere flip of a transistor , we can go from consuming no energy […]

[From the last episode: We looked at different transistor types and saw why it is that, with CMOS, there is no static power.] Just because CMOS circuits have no static power doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods. Yeah, it’s possible to say that we’re doing “work” while the circuit […]

[From the last episode: We looked in more depth at voltage and current, and that the direction that electrons flow is actually opposite to the direction that current is said to go.] We saw before that voltage is like potential energy. As long as there’s no current, that energy remains […]

[From the last episode: We looked at high-level notions about energy and power – and the difference between the two.] We looked a few months ago at basic electrical ideas: voltage, current, resistance, and power. And we used a popular analogy with the flow of water to help make the […]
