The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...
Abstract: For many emerging computing technologies, such as wearable and flexible IoT devices, power and energy consumption may be of far greater importance than performance and operating frequency.
Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...
LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...
The TL431 has been around for nearly 50 years. During those decades, while primarily marketed as a precision adjustable shunt regulator, this legacy device also found its way into alternative ...
For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...
Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips contain many other transistors besides the access transistor to enable full operation of the DRAM memory. These peripheral transistors must meet stringent ...
