A new technical paper titled “Omni 3D: BEOL-Compatible 3-D Logic With Omnipresent Power, Signal, and Clock” was published by researchers at Stanford University, Intel Corporation and Carnegie Mellon ...

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.

Transistors act as the building blocks for many circuits and devices, permitting devices to amplify and switch electronic signals. Transistors come in different types, with the PNP and NPN transistor ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backwa… ...

Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are cornerstone components in the complex landscape of electronic circuits, conducting the operation of amplification and signal processing. A comprehensive grasp ...

Based on the knowledge developed in the previous tutorials, we now start the study of this important electronic component.

The universal logic element (Figure 1) contains only one bipolar or field-effect transistor Q1. It is capable of operating without its own power supply, it simultaneously performs the functions of ...
