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 . . .

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Editor's Note: The following tutorial is one of a series of six on transistor theory by Howard Skolnik, retired Burr-Brown designer. In Part 1 of this series we explored the terminal impedances of a ...

Santa Cruz, Calif. — Analog and custom IC designers' wait for transistor-level statistical timing analysis at 65 nanometers and below may be coming to an end. Two recent announcements promise that the ...

On-device AI A low-power nanoelectronic device that can be implemented directly in wearable electronics enables real-time machine learning classification of medical data inside wearables. (Courtesy: ...

Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...

A new technical paper titled “Dual-Layer Thin-Film Transistor Analysis and Design” was published by researchers at Oregon State University and Applied Materials. “A set of analytical equations is ...
