- 1.
In practice multi-state converters are a rarity (Ben-Yaakov and Kushnerov 2009). Two-state converters are used in most of the publications.
- 2.
Embedded memories require voltage of 5–10 V which is typically higher than the supply voltage of the accompanying chips.
- 3.
Feed-forward biasing denotes the biasing of diode-connected MOS devices by means of a next stage voltage node in the diode string, operating at a higher voltage. By doing this the threshold voltage can be reduced and power loss in the diode is cut.
