A recent design by [Selenium] is super simple because it uses a single LM386 audio amplifier IC. You might be surprised that you can convert an audio amplifier to a receiver using just a handful ...

Just kidding! The LM386 has its place — on the breadboard, in the one-off perfboarded circuit, or even free-formed with parts hanging off of it in mid-air. And as the granddaddy of DIP-format ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

A photonic integrated circuit is an integrated circuit with optical functions. Optical signals travel at the speed of light, which is faster than electronic signals. This speed is appealing, but ...

Characterized by razor-thin margins, the commodity IC market is dominated by large Asian semiconductor makers. If an IC is made for a specific purpose, it is called an ASIC, or application ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside ...

IC clocks are semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) that are designed to keep time. IC clocks are important components in virtually all electronic components. They maintain synchronization and ...

Ideally, 3D IC development teams should co-design the silicon IP, chiplets and package together. Power and thermal challenges are the biggest hurdles for many 3D IC projects. In terms of powering the ...

IC sockets and headers are board-mounted, female connectors that serve as carriers for integrated circuit (IC) chips. They are made of metal or plastic and contain one or more rows of contacts, ...

Whether you’ve got 10 minutes or a full hour, this guide will help you map out a circuit training plan so you can easily tailor sessions to fit your unique goals and timeframe. Meet the experts ...

Stars from high-profile entries like “Baby Reindeer,” “Fargo,” “True Detective: Night Country” and more are in the running for this year’s Emmy race in best limited series… ...

In this episode of The Circuit, Emily Chang visits the defense entrepreneur who argues companies like his are critical to America’s future. In this episode of The Circuit with Emily Chang ...
