For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

After Albert Einstein proves to be less than useful when it comes to sorting electronic components, [Dino] decided to build a simple transistor tester to help him tell his PNPs and NPNs apart ...

Researchers built an entirely edible transistor using Copper (II) Phthalocyanine (CuPc), the same tooth—whitening pigment ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

So What Was the Transistor Good For? Transistors may have been useful to the phone company and to a handful of scientists building computers, but that wasn't enough to build an industry.

How do you know if a transistor is bad or failing? Typical signs of a failing transistor include a circuit that's not functioning as expected, or a device that's overheating or not powering on. To ...

sensitive transistor with a cheap, paper-based diagnostic test. When combined with machine learning, the system becomes a new kind of biosensor that could ultimately transform at-home testing and ...

This May, engineers working on NASA's Europa Clipper discovered a problem with the spacecraft and had to scramble to get it ...

The transistor is a silicon alloy pnp type, and will make available a complementary pair in its range. A special feature of the device is its low saturation voltage 130mV, the cut-off frequency is 1 ...

The term "complementary" refers to how these two transistor types interact with each other to create a more efficient and reliable circuit. By working together, nMOS and pMOS transistors enable CMOS ...

The particular manufacturing method used to make silicon chips, which is measured by the size of the transistor's elements. The driving force behind the design of integrated circuits is ...

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its continued, close collaboration with TSMC to deliver advanced EDA and IP ...
