(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 ...

Part 4, pages 664 to 681, will be posted 12th October, 2009 Part 5, pages 681 to 703, will be posted 19th October, 2009 Often referred to as 'the standard text' for Analog Design, this book by two ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

We are used to stories about reverse engineering integrated circuits, in these pages. Some fascinating exposés of classic chips have been produced by people such as the ever-hard-working [Ken Shirriff ...

Engineers show that when serious line-to-line interference damages the performance of circuits, an alternating arrangement of glide and nonglide symmetric TLs can restore and guarantee signal accuracy ...

The basic technology behind Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) has been known for decades. But today, the power and potential of PIC technology is emerging as a possible solution for our modern data ...

There's a long wish list for a workable quantum computer: a viable system must be fast, compact and stable. The first integrated optical quantum logic circuits are a step in the right direction. Quite ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have created the world's first completely transparent integrated circuit from inorganic compounds, another major step forward for the rapidly evolving field of ...
