The humble 555 timer has its origins back in the early 1970s as the NE555, a bipolar integrated circuit. Over the years it has spawned a range of derivatives, including dual versions, and ones using ...

Abstract: In this study, we investigate linearity enhancement of a differential cascode CMOS power amplifier (PA). First, the variation of parasitic capacitance in the common-source (CS) transistor, ...

Monolithically integrated GaN power ICs offer significant advantages over traditional silicon chips, including superior efficiency, smaller size, higher speed, and reduced cost. What makes GaN so ...

The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

While CMOS may be synonymous with the manufacture of silicon ICs, it’s a versatile process can also be applied to the production of photonic and microwave circuits employing compound semiconductors.

Conventional electronics based on silicon are approaching their limits in terms of performance and scalability. In recent years, engineers have thus been trying to introduce alternative designs that ...

Record-performing NbTiN-based interconnects, Josephson junctions, and MIM capacitors open doors to energy-efficient compute systems for AI and HPC. At the recent 2024 IEEE International Electron ...

Biosensors translate biological events into electronic signals that quantify biological processes. They are increasingly used in in vitro diagnostics applications that leverage their ability to ...
