Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are go… ...

Instead of wiring individual transistors together one by one, Kilby’s approach was to build multiple devices on a single semiconductor slab, creating a complete circuit on a chip.

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Ever wondered how a simple transistor can power an entire computer and run complex code? Discover the amazing world of transistors and how they make the digital world function. This video takes ...

How to Produce Transistors August 1948 Bell Labs gave its scientists the freedom to pursue basic research -- if they hadn't, the transistor would never have been invented.

It is common to use transistors fordriving resistive heating elements.However, you can use the heatthat a power transistor dissipates toadvantage in several situations, eliminatingthe need for a ...

However, a modern integrated circuit can contain enormous numbers of devices. A 1959 PDP-1 had about 2,800 discrete transistors in it.
