The often-quoted Moore 's Law says that we can expect processors to double in capacity every 18 months. And that has held true. Now computer scientists warn that - without some significant ...

Figure 1a shows a latching circuit based on an optocoupler, IC 1. If the off switch remains closed, pressing the on switch powers the LED in the optocoupler. Thus, the transistor in IC 1 turns on. You ...

This intelligent electronic lock circuit is built using transistors only. To open this electronic lock, one has to press tactile switches S1 through S4 sequentially. For deception you may annotate ...

With a recent breakthrough in making circuits with molecules, Hewlett-Packard hopes to change chip history and expand its own role in the process. Researchers from the Palo Alto, Calif.-based ...

Hewlett-Packard’s researchers have proven that a technology the company invented could eventually replace the transistor, a fundamental building block of electronics. In a paper published in the ...

Announced yesterday, researchers from Surrey and Cambridge universities and the National Research Institute in Rome have used thin-film source-gated transistor (SGT) to create compact analogue circuit ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...
