IBM on Monday will unveil a new transistor design for wireless chips that promises enough power to build future networks that will change the way people use wireless at work and at home. The new ...

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

Researchers have demonstrated the first single-photon transistor using a semiconductor chip. The device has numerous holes in it, making it appear much like a honeycomb. Light entering the chip ...

In Parts 1, 2, and 3 we took a closer look at calculating “ac” gain and how to desensitize the circuit to temperature and transistor parameter variations. In part 4 we consider the effects of a ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

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 ...

Judging from his two writeups posted earlier this (Monday) evening, both EDN's Ron Wilson and I were in attendance at this morning's third ISSCC keynote. The increasing transistor-to-transistor ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists announced Thursday the creation of transistors many times smaller than those found in today’s most advanced microprocessors, and which operate efficiently at room ...
