Adding big blocks of SRAM to collections of AI tensor engines, or better still, a waferscale collection of such engines, turbocharges AI inference, as has been shown time and again by AI upstarts ...

AI workloads need to position more memory that uses less power in ever-closer proximity to computational logic. That overriding imperative is driving new memory designs and new materials exploration ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...

It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty ...

Let’s say you want to blink an LED. You might grab an Arduino and run the Blink sketch, or you might lace up a few components to a 555. But you needn’t go so fancy! [The Design Graveyard] explains how ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of modern electronics, transistors control the flow of current and enable ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By ...

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the chip industry for years. At TU Wien, researchers have now succeeded for the ...

Abstract: This article describes the recent advances in very high-power transistors and amplifiers for applications above 1MHz. It focuses primarily on GaN-on-SiC HEMT devices for pulsed applications.

Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon-based quantum processors to make future quantum computers more affordable, ...
