For the Component Abuse Challenge our hacker [Tim Williams] observes that N-P-N reads the same way forwards and backwards, so ...

The new fabrication technique for all-2D transistors on flexible substrates offers a sustainable alternative, boosting ...

One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

Could a single memristor replace both the driving transistor and storage capacitor in micro-LEDs? Prof. Tae-Geun Kim and team ...

Here is a close look at the common- versus differential-mode voltage and instrumentation amplifier (IA) topologies.

Equal resistors R added in series with both emitters will develop voltages Vr = I1*R and I2*R that will be equal if the ...

FD-SOI uses an ultra-thin layer of silicon over a buried oxide as a means to reduce leakage and variation in chips. FDSOI also boasts a back-bias feature. Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology itself ...

Abstract: Printed circuit board (PCB) layout has been an integral aspect of power electronic design since the first switching power supplies appeared more than 40 years ago. Regardless of the ...
