Static electricity can be one of those things that can leave both analog and digital circuits out of commission. Static electricity often occurs when dissimilar materials rub against each other ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

There are two groups of classic circuits: those which have served us well in the past, but have been superseded by better designs, and those which are still in use, perhaps with updated components. In ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Every time a smartphone snaps a photo, millions of tiny light detectors capture the scene and then ferry all that raw data ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

Semiconductor supplier Diodes has entered into an agreement to acquire ic specialist Power Analog Microelectronics. The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 2012 and the terms of the transaction ...
