[Joe Wingbermuehle] has an interest in computers-of-old, and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete ...
As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...
In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object ...
In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors ... This causes a reduction in transistor delay. As dynamic power is proportional to capacitance, the power consumption ...
A step forward in the development of diamond CMOS integrated circuits. A research team at NIMS has developed the world’s ...
The Intel Pentium has a separate section just for multiplication by 3, which has more transistors than a Z80 had in total.
Gordon Moore's prediction made over 40 years ago, that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double roughly every 24 months, continues to be the guiding principle of the ...
