Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

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 ...

Over the past century, electronic engineering has improved massively. In the 1920s, a state-of-the-art AM radio contained several vacuum tubes, a few enormous inductors, capacitors and resistors, ...

Pushing the boundary of silicon chip manufacturing toward its atomic limit, IBM has successfully created chips with the smallest chip-ready transistors to date. At 7 nanometers in width, the ...

US-based semiconductor manufacturer Diodes has added new automotive-grade bipolar transistor series, DXTN/P 78Q and DXTN/P 80Q, to its portfolio. The components are intended for use in vehicles with ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used to make decisions about turning off ...

Materials incompatibilities have stalled efforts to integrate transistors and memory in a single on-chip, commercial component. That might be about to change. Researchers at Purdue University have ...
