In the past, an aspiring electronics enthusiast would have started with simple transistor circuits such as a light sensitive switch, a simple electric organ, or an AM radio such as the one ...

9.4 Basic Junction Transistor Circuit Configurations As in the case of the thermionic valve, there are a number of layouts, in addition to the simple single transistor amplifier shown in Figure 9.4 or ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types ...

Circuit simulation programs, of which SPICE and derivatives are the most prominent, take a text net list describing the circuit elements (transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and ...

The basic rules by which chips are being designed could be wrong, physicists have warned. Researchers at the US National Institute of Science and Technology have warned that a flaw exists in ...

IBM announced today that it has developed a way to improve the transistor--a move which its describes as the "first fundamental change to basic transistor in forty years". Together with other ...
