Only eight lithography masks to create a low-power custom logic chips, compared with 20+ for CMOS, is the claim of Nottingham-based fabless chip start-up ‘Search For The Next’ (SFN). As such, ...

Digital electronics rely on logic gates to perform operations. While modern integrated circuits (ICs) contain millions or billions of transistors packed into a small chip, understanding the ...

From simple transistors to complex systems, this article explains the building blocks of digital logic design. Learn how these powerful components work in parallel to process information at incredible ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

The circuitry we rely on today comes from what could be considered a top-down approach, with the wiring completely laid out before it's etched into silicon. With the advent of nanotechnology, however, ...

Saleae logic analyzers seem to have it all: good sampling rates, convenient protocol decoding, and plenty of channels – but not a good way to set rising or falling-edge triggering. [James] found this ...

Researchers in Sweden have created electronic circuits and devices that are integrated within living plant material. The team introduced a conductive polymer into the vascular system of plants, which ...
