Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...

Transistor size is an important part of improving computer technology. The smaller your transistors, the more you can fit on a chip, and the faster and more efficient your processor can be. That’s why ...

This simple circuit has helped me out on many occasions. It is able to check transistors, in the circuit, down to 40 ohms across the collector-base or base-emitter junctions. It can also check the ...

In the half-century since the transistor was invented, this workhorse component of almost every electronic device has shrunk from the size of a pencil eraser to smaller than a bacterium. The ...

For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...

The newly developed logic circuits are equipped with diamond-based MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors), and they have two different operation modes. The different modes are a ...

Researchers at Peking University in China have developed the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient ...

At what age did you begin learning about electronics? What was the state of the art available to you at the time and what kinds of things were you building? For each reader these answers can be wildly ...

In the late 1990s I was working for a company that manufactures sub-systems for tramways, subways and light rail car manufacturers. One day my boss tells me that one of our inverters, a 5 kW DC to ...
