Circuit Challenge: Two Transistor 3.3V Regulator

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

The world’s smallest transistor is 1nm long, physics be damned

Transistor size is an important part of improving computer technology. The smaller your transistors, the more you can fit on a chip, and the faster and more efficient your processor can be. That’s why ...
Morning Overview on MSN

Researchers just crammed more computing into the same chip space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers — a vertical stack that squeezes whole generations …

For decades, chipmakers squeezed more transistors onto processors by shrinking them sideways. That playbook is running out of ...
