Maxim Integrated Products has introduced low-power (less than 1.2microamps), microprocessor supervisory circuits that feature precision power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions.

In 1958 the integrated circuit was developed by a young engineer at Texas Instruments named Jack St. Clair Kilby. He put together a few transistors and capacitors, linking them with a thin layer of ...

The microprocessor is a computer processor of arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry on a single integrated circuit. The ...

Research in integrated circuits and systems in the CU Boulder Department of Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering is focused on the grand challenge in today’s and future integrated systems, which ...

The integrated circuit (IC) has a rich history that started over 64 years ago with the creation of the first transistor. Although crude by today’s standards, the first point-contact transistor was ...

Based on observation of exponential growth of number of transistors on an integrated circuit chip, Moore's Law predicted in 1965 that transistors will halve in size every 18 months. Although this ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...
