Bootstrap circuits are very common when NMOS (or NPN) devices are used on the high side of a switching circuit, such as a half-bridge (and by extension, a full bridge) used to drive a motor or ...

Dynamic PMOS/SOS circuits will operate at 5 MHz clock rates and 112 μW/ gate power levels and will tolerate radiation levels above 107 rads (Si), 1015 n/cm2, and 109 rads (Si)/sec. Static circuits ...

Subthreshold operation enables CMOS circuits to operate using very low supply voltages and to dissipate extremely low power with moderate performance. The dynamic threshold MOS technique (DTMOS) is an ...
