RIT launches comprehensive NSF workforce training program to equip graduate and doctoral students with broader experiences in ...

The classic Schmitt-trigger-based RC oscillator is "hacked" and analyzed using the simulation software QSPICE.

Even with teachers with names like Kirchhoff and Helmholtz, old Heinrich Hertz himself likely didn’t have the slightest idea that his name would one day become an SI unit. Less likely still would have ...

Most of us know that a quartz clock uses a higher frequency crystal oscillator and a chain of divider circuits to generate a 1 Hz pulse train. It’s usual to have a 32.768 kHz crystal and a 15-stage ...

The semiconductor industry has relied on a simple equation for more than five decades — shrink the transistor, pack more onto every wafer, and watch performance soar as costs plummet. While each new ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

Injection locking [1] can not only improve oscillator frequency stability and phase noise, but act as a selective frequency divider as well [2][3]. You can find sample setups of a simple ...

The first CMOS chip was created by Fairchild Semiconductor, presented at ISSCC in 1963. The logic topologies used in today’s textbooks originated in this work. P-type devices are slower than N-type by ...

Abstract: Memristors' ease of integration with contemporary CMOS technology has led to their widespread use in the design of logic circuits in recent years. Consequently, the development of hybrid ...

The CMOS chip stores critical system information such as the date, time, and hardware configuration. It is essential for maintaining the BIOS settings that control how your computer interacts with its ...
