[Donn] wanted know exactly what is going on inside of a processor so naturally he built a CPU out of TTL components. He had previously built a couple of versions of a computer based on the Z80 ...

CMOS stands for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, and it uses pairs of transistors to create logic gates. TTL stands for transistor-transistor logic, and it uses multiple transistors to ...

However, diode logic gates have some limitations, such as voltage drops, power dissipation, and fan-out problems. A transistor is a device that can amplify or switch a current or voltage ...

Here’s a blast from the past as we reprint our news from NYC’s 1961 IRE show—the first integrated logic circuits in TO-5 and ...

Within a logic gate is an analog circuit consisting of transistors either bipolar, using NPN and PNP bipolar junction transistors, or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor), using N-channel ...

it was of course not a simple matter of just slapping some transistors on a silicon die to create logic gates, putting it into a plastic (or ceramic) package, and taking over the world of digital ...

Abstract: A class B audio-frequency transistor power amplifier is described in which the advantages of zero-bias operation and electronic overload protection are achieved through the use of transistor ...

Abstract: Magnetoelectric field effect transistor (MEFET) schemes are voltage‐controlled ... such that each gate has two outputs. This allows logic to be configured with a steering function, switching ...

A metal or polysilicon gate is placed on top of the gate oxide to control the transistor's behavior. When a positive voltage (logic '1') is applied to the gate, it creates an electric field that ...

This created a thin layer which had a scarcity of electrons. While point-contact transistors usually worked fine when the metal contacts were simply placed close together on the germanium base crystal ...

As part of their study, Wang and his colleagues integrated their transistors with peripheral circuits to create ...
