    摘要: In an integrated circuit, a voltage level shifter transitions an input signal at a first voltage level to an output signal at a second voltage level. The voltage level shifter generally includes switching elements, such as transistors, that control switching the output signal between logical zero and logical one values. The switching elements have a maximum voltage below which they can operate. The maximum voltage is less than the second voltage level. The voltage across the switching elements is limited to less than the maximum voltage.

    摘要: Neutron detection cells and corresponding methods of detecting charged particles that make efficient use of silicon area are set forth. Three types of circuit cells/arrays are described: state latching circuits, glitch generating cells, and charge loss circuits. An array of these cells, used in conjunction with a neutron conversion film, increases the area that is sensitive to a strike by a charged particle over that of an array of SRAM cells. The result is a neutron detection cell that uses less power, costs less, and is more suitable for mass production.

    摘要: A core voltage to input output voltage level shifter of the type that uses a reference voltage source to generate a reference voltage to limit a drain voltage on at least one voltage sensitive node connected to a voltage sensitive switching device, that resides on a high voltage domain. A feed back line runs from the voltage sensitive node to the reference voltage source. A feed back structure varies the reference voltage in response to the drain voltage on the at least one voltage sensitive node, and thereby maintains the drain voltage at a substantially constant desired value.

    摘要: A varactor is formed with a semiconductor junction having a retrograde dopant concentration profile in a depletion region. The retrograde dopant concentration profile results in an approximately linear capacitance/voltage characteristic response of the varactor. The retrograde dopant concentration profile also enables a peak of the dopant concentration to function as a low resistance conductive path connecting to the varactor.
