Logic signals have fallen from the 15V of the old CMOS 4000 series to 5V TTL (transistor-to-transistor logic) to modern CMOS levels of 3.3, 2.7, and 1.8V. Advanced processes use digital logic that ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...

A transistor that operates with photons rather than electrons is often heralded as the next step in information processing, but optical technology must first prove itself to be a viable solution in ...

Intel has developed a new kind of transistor, made of a material other than silicon, that has the potential to be faster and use less electricity than today’s chips. And, crucially, the new ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This 8051 microcontroller-based control circuit adjusts the speed of a small permanent-magnet dc motor via photosensors ...
