Cells navigate environments, communicate and build complex patterns by initiating gene expression in response to specific signals. Engineers seek to harness this capability to program cells to perform ...

Look at almost any circuit, and it’s nearly sure that there will be a capacitor included in it. These two-terminal electrical components rank alongside resistors.

Design of CMOS digital integrated circuits, concentrating on device, circuit, and architectural issues. Analysis and design techniques in custom integrated circuit design, standard cells, memory. Use ...

Overview of digital logic design. Implementation technologies, timing in combinational and sequential circuits, EDA tools, basic arithmetic units, introduction to simulation and synthesis using ...

The first few articles in this series were originally published in a different form at www.en-genius.net as the July – September 2012 monthly technotes. Then En-Genius ceased operations in October ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

Building reliable hardware requires that you account for all tolerances during the design stage. Many references discuss active component errors resulting from parameter deviations—showing how to ...

“If we’re starting from a greenfield or brownfield site, we have to work with what we’re given. My first question if somebody comes to us and says 'we’ve got some land' is 'what’s it like?'. Is it ...

“The ‘more flexible approach’ adopted this week will unquestionably give [design patent] challengers more latitude to argue that prior art warrants a finding of obviousness.” Applications for design ...
