Mr. Keith Taylor, Vice President of Acquisition and Licensing, InventionShare, has announced that research is conclusive on Circuit Seed, a new family of circuit building blocks for processing analogue signals using fully digital components and design flow. This includes a CMOS Field Effect Transistor Structure (CiFET) that is one of several patents filed for this family of inventions. 

Co-founded by a recent PhD graduate and a senior scientist with decades of experience in designing novel analogue circuits, Circuit Seed inventions enjoy a mixture of experience and creativity, supported by patents for the past 40 years. Circuit Seed introduces a dramatic shift in the existing way of designing analogue circuits effectively eliminating many of the known shortcomings.

This includes: precision without precision parts; linear operation over an extreme dynamic range; low noise, high speed, low voltage; process parameter independence; compact footprint; low power and portable designs. This paradigm shift has eliminated the use of current mirrors or differential matched pairs with traditional bulky analogue transistors while being able to recover from a sleep mode at logic speed.

Taylor said: “Simulation and silicon test results have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in power, better performance and higher accuracy, all with small integrated circuit footprints. The circuit designs are much simpler, reducing product costs with faster development, so less testing is required and there are fewer parts to assemble. These circuits are far more reliable in the newest CMOS processes, making Circuit Seed a real breakthrough for device manufacturers.”
