In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Characteristics of IGZO-TFT-based circuits that are making them more popular alternatives in design. The challenges faced when dealing with AMOLED displays. Examples of applications employing IGZO-TFT ...

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 going to ...

Announced yesterday, researchers from Surrey and Cambridge universities and the National Research Institute in Rome have used thin-film source-gated transistor (SGT) to create compact analogue circuit ...

Moore's Law, as revised in 1975, states the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit will double around every two years. The observation is named after Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and ...

Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.
