Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer ...

Schematic and operation of a capacitorless active-matrix micro-LED pixel, where a single memristor (1M) substitutes both the storage capacitor and the driving TFT. The compact 1M cell can be ...

Let’s say you want to blink an LED. You might grab an Arduino and run the Blink sketch, or you might lace up a few components to a 555. But you needn’t go so fancy! [The Design Graveyard] explains how ...

A microphone as small as a pinhead? It is on its way. A Raytheon Co. scientist has discovered that transistors, which are far smaller than any ordinary microphones, have areas that can detect ...

Abstract: With the continuous scaling in technology nodes, the transistor self-heating effect (SHE) emerges as a growing threat to circuit reliability. Increasingly confined transistor structures and ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Abstract: In this article, a novel active impedance matching circuit with a single transistor is studied for antennas to cover over a hundred-octave bandwidth. In the proposed matching circuit, only ...

Almost every wall power supply has no indicator showing whether current is consumed by the load or not. Figure 1 Wall power supply indicator solution showing whether or not a current is being consumed ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...
