The electrical voltage, the resistance of a conductor, or the current passing through a wire are quantities that can be easily measured by using a tester. But if you need to know the capacity of a ...

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 ...

Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

Over six decades of integrated circuit production we’ve become used to their extreme reliability and performance for a very reasonable price. But what about those first integrated circuits from the ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside on ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Today's computing systems are up against an extraordinary volume of threats, and many of them target where these systems originate — in the supply chain and around critical integrated circuits (ICs).

September 12th marks the arrival of one of the greatest inventions of all time, and it happened 65 years ago at Dallas-based Texas Instruments. TI employee Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Integrated circuits consist of ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...
