- LVC Characterization InformationPDF, 114 Kb, File published: Dec 1, 1996
This document provides characterization information about low-voltage logic (LVL) that operates from a 3.3-V power supply. It addresses the issues of interfacing to 5-V logic ac performance power considerations input and output characteristics and signal integrity for this family of devices. - Use of the CMOS Unbuffered Inverter in Oscillator CircuitsPDF, 796 Kb, File published: Nov 6, 2003
CMOS devices have a high input impedance high gain and high bandwidth. These characteristics are similar to ideal amplifier characteristics and hence a CMOS buffer or inverter can be used in an oscillator circuit in conjunction with other passive components. Now CMOS oscillator circuits are widely used in high-speed applications because they are economical easy to use and take significantly
