Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

From simple transistors to complex systems, this article explains the building blocks of digital logic design. Learn how ...

A technical paper titled “Analysis of Logic-in-Memory Full Adder Circuit With Floating Gate Field Effect Transistor (FGFET)” was published by researchers at Konkuk University, Korea National ...

Sometimes I wish FETs had become practical before bipolar transistors. A FET is a lot more like a tube and amplifies voltages. Bipolar transistors amplify current and that makes them a bit harder to ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. “Device ...

Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. The smaller the size of their transistors the better they perform, say ...

Keynoting the Mentor Graphics U2U meeting in Santa Clara this morning, Mentor chairman and CEO Wally Rhines delivered one of his signature tightly-reasoned essays on the future of IC design and what ...

The recent EDN article of Bruce Trump () on the input impedance of an op-amp circuit took into account the single-pole roll-off of its loop gain. He showed with a simple derivation how the equivalent ...

The writing is on the wall for the silicon chip. Transistors have been shrinking for the last half a century but they cannot get smaller forever. Most industry pundits think that the downscaling of ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
