A new chip aims to dramatically reduce energy consumption while accelerating the processing of large amounts of data.

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

Practically every electronic device you own has something in common: they contain semiconductors, which are also known as microchips. Microchips are miniaturized integrated circuits, each designed to ...

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 ...

Brillouin scattering is seen as a natural hinderance in fiber optic cables. New developments in artificial Brillouin scattering could revolutionize circuits. By controlling how they operate, circuits ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB® PICkit™ Basic in-circuit debugger, aimed at making its advanced programming and debugging capabilities more accessible to engineers at all skill levels.

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 ...

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 ...
