Electronic engineers at Japan's GNC and AIST research centers have successfully created graphene transistors that are constructed and operated in a way that redefines 50 years of transistor ...

Not every computer can make use of a disk drive when it needs to store persistent data. Embedded systems especially have pushed the development of a series of erasable programmable read-only memories ...

Moore’s Law makes FPGAs a viable alternative for digital. Last time around, we showed that if you scale an FPGA design down to deep submicron (DSM) process nodes, an FPGA can become performance and ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

When it comes to learning digital system design, hobbyists and students have a lot of options, whether it’s tinkering with field-programmable gate arrays or working up chip submission for a Tiny ...

Yesterday morning I ran across what sounded like an interesting story from Hewlett-Packard’s labs that seemed to involve a possible transistor replacement, nanotechnology, and the indefinite ...

DARPA-funded IBM researchers today said they have developed a human brain-inspired computer chip loaded with more than 5 billion transistors and 256 million “synapses,” or programmable logic points, ...

Switched-capacitor blocks are easily configured to be integrators. When configured as an integrator, a switch-capacitor block can function as an op amp. Closed-loop stability is achieved by ...

Ningbo Joyson Electronic has been granted a patent for a programmable resistance circuit that configures selected resistances using a reference resistor. The circuit utilizes a modulated voltage ...
