[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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