Many electronic devices today are dependent on semiconductor logic circuits based on switches hard-wired to perform predefined logic functions.

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at ...

Mostly-Analog editor Andy Turudic takes a look at the original 1963 ISSCC paper that described the world’s first CMOS process with planar P- and N-type MOSFETs.

Logic gates are implemented using diodes or transistors acting as electronic switches; most gates are made from field-effect transistors (FETs), particularly metal–oxide–semiconductor field ...

Digital logic circuits generally have input power and ground connections in addition to their logic connection points, so [Thomas]’s main breakthrough here is that the mechanical equivalent ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable ...

Recently, Zhenjiang Zhili High-Tech Co., Ltd. applied for a patent titled "Method for Circuit Logic Modeling and Automatic Generation Based on DSL Language," which has attracted widespread attention ...

Digital logic circuits generally have input power and ground connections in addition to their logic connection points, so [Thomas]’s main breakthrough here is that the mechanical equivalent ...

Multiple droplets of a magnetic fluid have been used to create all of the fundamental logic circuits within a computer. Created by researchers in the US, the circuits are made by having the ...
