Figure 2’s Darlington-based circuit is robust and energy-efficient. Its total power draw is less than 400mW. Stephen Woodward’s relationship with EDN’s DI column goes back quite a ways. In all, a ...

MIT researchers create a super-fast, super-tough, super-slidey transistor and claim that in '10 to 20 years from now could change the world' Story by Nick Evanson • 8mo.

A recent Design Idea presents a circuit to measure an airflow rate up to 2000 fpm using two transistors in a Darlington configuration. One transistor works as a self-heated thermal sensor and the ...

Darlington lamented that if the patent lawyer hadn’t insisted on showing only two transistors, every integrated circuit would have had to pay royalties to Bell Labs. Source: U.S. Patent 2,663,806 ...

Chinese Researchers Say They Have a Fast, Silicon-Free Transistor. If the claim is accurate, it would mean that China has bleeding-edge tech that could rival chips from Intel and TSMC.

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, using a trio of single-atom-thick wonder materials -- graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenite -- have created the first all-2D field-effect transistor. This FET could ...

For that purpose, the Figure 1 circuit includes an external transistor and simple low-pass RC filter. Together, they reduce the supply noise by more than 46 dB and achieve a noise floor of 7 nV/vHz.

Fast solid-state neuromorphic proton transistor trained to convert triangles into sinewaves Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the Tokyo University of Science have created a ...

IBM says it has developed ultra-fast transistors from atoms of carbon. IBM has announced researchers assembled the transistors from carbon nanotubes - long, tube-shaped carbon molecules that have ...
