Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

The EPC2050 offers power systems designers a 350 V, 80 mΩ maximum R DS(on), 26 A peak current power transistor in an extremely small chip-scale package. These new devices are ideal for multi-level ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel ...

Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...

Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...

Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

Last week, it was announced that Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) will lead a €10.3m European project (‘GaNext’) to develop fast-switching intelligent GaN power modules. But who is this small UK company ...

NOTTINGHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A UK collaboration between Nottingham-based start-up, Search For The Next (SFN) and Glenrothes-based Semefab may be set to disrupt the semiconductor industry by ...
