What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

Researchers have built logic circuits, the heart of all electronic gadgets, on molybdenum disulfide films that are two molecular layers thick (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl302015v). The devices are the ...

Inter integrated circuits (I2C) is a multi-master, low-bandwidth, short distance, serial communication protocol. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, I2C and its derivatives are widely employed ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

The analog input characteristics of analog ICs vary enormously. Some behave like high impedance amplifier inputs, some are purely resistive, some have capacitors switched at high speed, and some, ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...

Fig 1. A typical CMOS input circuit comprises a “P” and “N” transistor. One is fully “on” for logic high, and the other is “on” for a logic low. Fig 2. When a CMOS input pin is at logic high or low ...
