Electronic engineers, both digital and analog, must now understand how to live with transmission lines. Behind the need for improved understanding are today's ICs, which produce signals that rise and ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of ...

A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

Our microelectronics relies on doped semiconductors. But there is an alternative: Instead of the semiconductor parts ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

TOSLINK was developed in the early 1980s as a simple interface for sending digital audio over fiber optic cables, and despite its age, is still featured on plenty of modern home entertainment devices.

Abstract: Metal-oxide-silicon capacitors fabricated in a bipolar process were examined for densities of oxide trapped charge, interface traps and deactivated substrate acceptors following ...

Abstract: A low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) driver and receiver pair utilizing source-body-tied silicon-on-insulator CMOS transistors is shown to operate at ...

Two-Transistor Regenerative Receiver Based on an earlier regenerative receiver circuit, the author developed an especially simple but high-performance version using modern components — a regenerative ...

At the receiver end, demodulate the laser beam and reconstruct the original audio signal. Demonstrate the feasibility of using laser communication for secure audio transmission. This system provides ...
