Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.

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 ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Microprocessors in smartphones, computers, and data centers process information by manipulating electrons through solid semiconductors, but our brains have a different system. They rely on the ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

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 ...

The idea of using a super-regenerative radio to receive commercial FM stations can be found at various locations on the Internet. Because the circuit is so small, it might be impressive to lab ...
