Deep vertical holes and re-entrant features challenge the best metrology methods.

A new logic-level approach directly impacts board-level performance and complexity. By optimizing interconnects, fanouts and signal structures before schematic capture, a new gate-level synthesis ...

Toshiba has put single logic gates into the 1 x 1.45mm XSON6 package, in two series with differing input characteristics. 12 of them are in the 7UL1G series, which operate across 0.9 to 3.6V and have ...

Before we plunge headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and aplomb, of course), let’s remind and reassure ourselves that—although the following discussions focus on the devices and ...

We’ve all heard of the dangers of static electricity when dealing with electronics, and we all take the proper precautions when working with static-sensitive components — don’t we? But as much as we ...

Traditional binary combinational logic circuits are generally obtained by cascading multiple basic logic gate circuits, using more components and complicated wiring. In contrast to the binary logic ...

The digital world offers many advantages over its analog relatives, the use of boolean logic among them. Some of the functions, like NOT, OR, and AND are fairly straightforward and line up nicely with ...
