Semiconductors are the building blocks of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. This in-depth guide provides a comprehensive understanding of semiconductors' engineering principles and applications, delving into their fundamental concepts, materials, devices, manufacturing processes, and their impact on today's technology landscape.
A guide covering the full radio-frequency design workflow, starting from setting specifications and choosing topologies to matching, simulation, layout, and verification, to help antenna engineers.
This article presents a detailed technical exploration of SiC MOSFET devices, covering material physics, device structure, switching behavior, and practical design considerations for high-efficiency power electronics systems.
This article is a comprehensive technical guide to relay wiring diagrams, covering 4-pin and 5-pin configurations, working principles, safety practices, standards, and advanced relay applications in modern systems.
Every embedded design needs a clock, but not every clock needs the same source. This guide compares bare quartz crystals against packaged crystal oscillators, including TCXO, OCXO, VCXO, and MEMS variants, to help engineers pick the right timing component.
Current division is the principle that determines how electric current splits between parallel branches according to their resistance. This guide explains how to calculate the exact current in each branch using Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's current law, with practical examples and limitations.
Flexible electronics isn’t a new technology, but it has achieved a remarkable progress over the past years and has become increasingly important to many sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, retail and healthcare.
This article explains the technical requirements of 5G and describes the new semiconductor components that enable Vehicle-to-Everything connectivity in smart cars.
Among other virtues, silicon “rusts” in a way that insulates a chip's circuitry. Two new ultrathin materials share that trait and others vital to the future of electronics.
Silicon chips are single story, but using new semiconductor materials, engineers can stack computer logic and memory like floors in a building to bust data traffic jams.
Vehicles increasingly contain electronic systems that assist drivers with monitoring, warning, braking, and steering tasks. Semiconductor companies are innovating to increase safety, while reducing weight, size, and complexity.
