Hence, some level of customization must be carried out by the IP provider in order to fulfill their customer needs. In this paper, we present a flexible ring oscillator IP designed for a 40nm CMOS ...

A range of highly stable precision timing circuits for the generation of accurate time delays or timing pulses. These timers can be operated in monostable (one-shot ...

They say the best art imitates life, and [bornach]’s Astable Exhalation certainly does that, right down to the part about astability. It’s especially interesting that the end result — breath ...

But plenty of other products in common use rely on a bit of programmability to gain extra features and functionality. The personal astable multivibrator is one popular product with a long pedigree, ...

The Hayek Oscillator is a non-invasive high frequency ventilator which offers the first real alternative to conventional mechanical ventilation and enhances secretion removal. The Oscillator ...

When TV shows and movies need to use a phone number as part of the story, they typically use one that starts with 555. We spoke with an official historian at AT&T to find out why these three ...

By placing the nonlinear crystal in a cavity, an oscillator is formed and operation commences when the pump power is above a certain threshold value. A unique feature of OPOs is that the output ...
