Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first ...

Nottingham-based SFN (Search for the Next) has characterised its novel transistor-based logic, and claims that it matches CMOS performance even when made in older fabs. It would “enable chip designers ...

A universal passive logic element of positive and negative logic, made on just one transistor, is proposed. The logic element has at least two inputs, as well as three outputs: an OR, an XOR, and an ...

Texas Instrument's Richard Zarr reviews the differences between Silicon-Germanium BiCMOS and small-geometry CMOS when it comes to driving high-speed data transmission lines. The CMOS process was the ...

How do you sort through this overwhelming number of devices? One way is to start by selecting the optimal process technology. Most manufacturers clearly label an op amp as CMOS, bipolar, or even ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a new generation of efficient transistor arrays based on double diffused MOSFET (DMOS FET) technology. The new TBD62xxxA series is the successor to the ...

Most organic electronic circuits designed to interface with biological systems have to balance electrical connectivity with stability because the ion-rich electrolyte that such systems contain ...

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...
