As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...

Researchers at Sun Microsystems Inc. have created a new way for computer components to communicate with each other that could ultimately spell the end of the integrated circuit board. The new ...

Years ago, Tektronix could not justify an expensive, high-performance semiconductor operation solely for producing competition-defeating ICs for oscilloscopes, and formed a joint venture with Maxim ...

(Note: This is Part 1 of a two-part article. Click here for Part 2.) SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis, often written as Spice) environment becomes an analysis platform of ...

This FAQ will look at how a PC board loaded with anywhere from just a few to hundreds of components is soldered in one smooth process, and the fascinating technology and systems it takes to do that.

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 ...

What can you do if your circuit repair diagnosis indicates an open circuit within an integrated circuit (IC)? Your IC got too hot and internal wiring has come loose. You could replace the IC, sure.
