[Danko]’s minimal circuit is about as small as possible for the DIP version of the venerable 555 chip. The BOM is stripped to the bone: just the chip, three resistors, a capacitor, and an LED.

As chips become increasingly compact and powerful, efficient heat dissipation will be crucial to maintaining their performance and longevity. To ensure this efficiency, we need a tool that can predict ...

A bare chip that is mounted directly onto the printed circuit board (PCB). After the wires are attached, a glob of epoxy or plastic is used to cover the chip and its connections. The tape ...

Gujarat-based semiconductor packaging company Suchi Semicon is set to begin commercial production this month with an ...

The flags of China and the United States are displayed on a printed circuit board with semiconductor chips in this picture ...

These "bumps" or "balls" are soldered onto the package substrate or the circuit board itself and underfilled with epoxy. The flip chip allows for a large number of interconnects with shorter ...

As demand for next-generation semiconductor chips grows, a team of researchers has succeeded in laser-drilling the world's tiniest circuit board holes, measuring a near-inconceivable 3 micrometers ...

China has quietly rolled back tariffs on some U.S. semiconductors, signaling a shift amid ongoing trade tensions with the US.

While we pack a lot more functionality in similarly-sized circuit boards these days, many systems still use a modular design not unlike the Flip-Chips from over 50 years ago. Do you have any ...

Trump plans new semiconductor tariffs on China, citing national security and pushing for U.S. chip production.
