The process of designing, manufacturing, and testing ICs is complex and exhaustive. The main contributors are the design and verification teams, IP vendors, and IC manufacturers. The process of ...

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, ...

3D-IC technology marks a pivotal shift from scaling in two dimensions to scaling in three. By bringing compute, memory, and accelerators closer together, 3D-ICs overcome data-movement bottlenecks and ...

The central processing unit (CPU) is either a dedicated integrated circuit (IC) or intellectual property (IP) core on an IC that processes logic and math. A CPU can handle high-level provisioning of ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you’ve spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

Did you know you can build fundamental circuits using biological methods? These aren’t your average circuits, but they work just like common electrical components. We talk alot about normal silicon ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

An integrated motor drive power IC is space and power efficient with an architecture scalable to higher current levels. A fully protected dual high-side MOSFET power switch has an entire H-bridge ...
