As it turns out, the answer is not 42, it’s 42.3 — thousand. That’s how many discrete transistors spread across the 30 m 2 room housing this massive computation machine. [James Newman’s] Megaprocessor ...
The CTLM1034-M832D discrete module is composed of a 40-V, 1-A VCE(sat) npn transistor, and a 40-V, 1-A low VF Schottky rectifier. The complementary CTLM1074-M832D is made of a 40-V, 1-A low VCE(sat) ...
If we had to pick one part to crown as the universal component in the world of analogue electronics, it would have to be the operational amplifier. The humble op-amp can be configured into so many ...
What are the different materials are used in creating GaN power transistors? The impact of heat on performance. A rundown of high-power RF GaN transistors currently on the market. Solid-state power ...
The first lithography tools were fairly simple, but the technologies that produce today’s chips are among humankind’s most complex inventions. When we talk about computing these days, we tend to talk ...
A somewhat redundant term for a chip because all chips are based on semiconductor elements. Although all chips are semiconductors, all semiconductors are not chips. Individual "discrete" transistors ...
