The 555 timer, one of the most frequently used integrated circuits by design engineers for novel circuit designs. The 555 timer IC got the name due to the three 5 kilo-ohms resistors used in the voltage divider network. They find potential use in numerous applications such as time delays and oscillators. In this circuit design … Read more
RF circuit technology has evolved a lot since the times of Guglielmo Marconi and Nikola tesla, both pioneers and visionaries who enabled radio communications. Their innovations empowered path-breaking innovations in RF applications ranging from mobile phones to radar. During the early 1980, RF circuit technology found its use typically for defense-related applications. Today many consumer … Read more
Artificial intelligence, one of the most commonly used term these days. Before venturing into AI, let us understand the evolution of humankind. What makes Homo sapiens so unique among all the animals? It’s the ability to think, we have evolved from the Homo habilis stage considered to be the first humans emerged to be known. … Read more
For any prototyping purpose, a design engineer seeks a development kit/development platform or sensor development kits that would simplify the design cycle. A development kit must comprise of an inbuilt sensor or an interface to connect the sensors or daughter boards. Development boards/Development kits can be classified based on the specific area of application, and … Read more
Power consumption is a crucial factor in any VLSI design. The device and gate length has shrunk to nanometers due to increasing transistor counts and speed of operation. Thus low power design techniques becomes a crucial factor. The modern world surrounded by sophisticated gadgets and, without these gadgets performing day to day tasks is unimaginable. … Read more
Our life is on a fast track, and people have no time to get involved in physical activities. Do we need to blame the technology that made us a couch potato just like our Homer Simpson? Many of the gadgets have made our lives convenient, effortless, and dependent on them. Nowadays, to track our physical … Read more
This tutorial demonstrates how to simulate a diode using Atlas 2D, and we create a silicon diode structure and perform DC analysis. The following tool is necessary “S-PISCES” which comes under ATLAS Module for understanding the device characteristics. Before working on this example, let us understand what is a diode? A diode is a device … Read more
An innovation happens when there is a necessity, I would like to quote the famous saying of Plato “Necessity is the mother of invention”. When it comes to technology-related innovation, it’s not always necessary that a tech innovation has to succeed, most innovations fail. But ever thought the reason behind the failure of such innovations? … Read more
Modern world surrounded by sophisticated gadgets, without these gadgets, it is difficult to perform our day to day activities. Technology has made humans dependent on these gadgets, which are getting smaller and hitting the threshold limits. You would have experienced at least once in your lifetime, that your smartphone battery is about to exhaust, and … Read more
