The Computer History Museum is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the integrated circuit, pictured above, with a multimedia exhibit called “The Silicon Engine” to explain why many claim the IC as one ...

Forming circuits involves the use of cylindrical pieces of semiconductor material. These cylinders are sliced into thin, circular pieces known as bare wafers. The bare wafers are then oxidized before ...

A sensor signal conditioner (SSC) is an integrated circuit that improves — or conditions — the signal coming from a sensor to reduce noise. The SSC also converts the signal from analog to digital ...

Fig. 1. Simplified Power Bank circuit. To understand the advantages of Active-Semi’s new ACT2800 family of Power Bank ICs, we have to look at a typical application. The Power Bank is essentially a ...

The rising complexities of semiconductor processes and design are driving an increasing use of on-chip monitors to support data analytics from an IC’s birth through its end of life — no matter how ...

Integrated circuit packages protect the silicon chips from the environment, and provide a way of connecting their circuits to the outside world. Widespread shortages of semiconductors over the last ...

The People's Republic of China has deepened its anti-dumping probe into U.S. companies producing analog integrated circuits ...

China is demanding sensitive sales data from US semiconductor firms, including Texas Instruments and Analog Devices, as part ...

Melexis has introduced the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit. The device processes signals from two ...
