On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

It's been roughly a month since the Dallas Cowboys made the stunning decision to trade All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Now, he makes his return to Dallas on Sunday Night ...

Abstract: XOR-XNOR circuits are the basic building block of many arithmetic and encryption circuits. This paper proposes a low-power 5 transistor XOR-XNOR circuit. This paper also evaluates and ...

Earlier this month, 36 sharp-witted high school students from around the globe stepped foot on the warm and breezy campus of Stanford University. Out of more than 4,000 students from more than 2,000 ...

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

[IMSAI Guy] grabbed an obsolete XOR gate and tried a classic circuit to turn it into a frequency doubler. Of course, being an old part, it won’t work at very high frequencies, but the circuit is super ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

A new technical paper titled “Omni 3D: BEOL-Compatible 3-D Logic With Omnipresent Power, Signal, and Clock” was published by researchers at Stanford University, Intel Corporation and Carnegie Mellon ...

A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...
