In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...
Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...
The basis of almost everything we discuss here on ExtremeTech is the transistor -- but just above that is a topic that we usually skirt around because no one, even hardcore nerds, really know anything ...
