The GPU made its debut at CES alongside five other data center chips. Customers can deploy them together in a rack called the Vera Rubin NVL72 that Nvidia says ships with 220 trillion transistors, ...

For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into definite abuse ...

It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Many of the messages adopt the flippant, sarcastic chatter often found on online message boards and in-game chats. By Richard Fausset Cartridges found with the gun that officials say was used to kill ...

When one thinks of portable consumer electronics that are now largely obsolete, portable CD players, minidisc players, and portable cassette tape players are products that immediately come to mind.

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

Infineon is advancing industry-wide standardization by offering its CoolGaN Generation 3 (G3) transistors in silicon MOSFET packages. The IGD015S10S1 100-V transistor will be housed in a 5×6-mm ...

Figure 1 shows a variation on a sine wave oscillator, it uses just two transistors and a single variable resistor to set the frequency. Figure 1 Just a couple of components are needed for a simple ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...
