2.5 High-voltage switching A fundamental component of this microelectrode driver is a high-voltage switch and it is necessary to characterize the implemented switch for different stimulation current levels. An analog CMOS switch can be an n-type or p-type MOSFET which is operated either in cut-off (OFF state) or ohmic region (ON state). The switch can be characterized by a fixed linear transconductance, gds , which is strongly signal-dependent and expressed according to Eq. 8 [37] where, μn and μp

Semiconductors: The Silicon Chip Silicon is the raw material most often used in integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. It is the second most abundant substance on the earth. It is extracted from rocks and common beach sand and put through an exhaustive purification process. In this form, silicon is the purist industrial substance that man produces, with impurities comprising less than one part in a billion. That is the equivalent of one tennis ball in a string of golf balls stretching from the earth

describe these highly integrated processors. These SOCs include much of the logic and interfaces that are required for a range of specific target applications. The silicon vendors that develop these SOC devices often create families of SOCs all using the same processor core, but with a wide range of integrated capabilities or integrated devices such as general purpose input/output pins, network interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, PCIe, serial ports, I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), expansion parallel

Abstract—This paper discusses the upcoming trend of 3 -dimensional printing in the field of electronics. The use of 3-D printing technology has resulted in rapid fabrication of circuits with accurate component placement and electrical interconnection. More sophisticated 3-D printing technology can be used to manufacture parts with direct end use application resulting in easy replacement rapidly.3-Dimensional printing if employed could reduce the development time of prototypes of complex electronic

Old in the days, computers were huge in size, hence, not that powerful and relatively slow when compared to computers nowadays. A computer is a complex electrical integrated circuit connects multiple of electrical components together. These components could be summarized in the following; transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes. Therefore, when it comes to high tech computers, revolutionary quality is a serious matter. One of the computer quality standards, for example, is the speed at which

power Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) design technique which was introduced as an alternative to CMOS logic design. This technique is a two transistor implementation of complex logic functions; Logic functions can be designed with fewer gates. GDI provides in cell swing restoration when operated in certain conditions and use of restoration buffers. Digital circuits designed using GDI logic will have less power consumption occupy a minimum area, gate count and delay in the circuit is reduced. Because

would become the prototype for other networks such as CSNET, BITNET, and EDUCOM. These networks have almost disappeared with the evolution of ARPANET to NSFNET which has become the present day Internet. During the 1970's the inventions of the integrated computer chip and storage devices caused the use of minicomputers and microcomputers to grow substantially. The use of commercial systems for searching reference databases (such as DIALOG) began. BALLOTS (Bibliographical Automation of Large Library

1) What made modern computers possible- Is The invention that could do calculations and other information with no moving parts. Which was electronic components. Electronic components a fast efficient machine such as Babbage (who designed the mechanical calculating machines that are the ancestor of computers today) proposed could be built with all four components essential to modern computing. 2) What are four components essential to modern computing- Input, Storage, Processor, Output

I’m from Syracuse, New York and graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts with a degree in physics. Immediately after graduating, I accepted an offer from Westinghouse because it was a management training program which promised to expose me to several engineering opportunities and allow me to choose the one I liked best. So I went to work at Westinghouse in Youngwood, Pennsylvania in the semiconductor business. In that job, I was setting up a wafer fab operation and making simple semiconductor

learned to program in C and MATLAB which were extremely helpful in my practical works. My ideas and knowledge of electrical engineering were first tested in the third year of engineering in the power electronics based project of ‘Pulse triggering circuit for triggering of SCR’. Besides that, I was always exposed to co-curricular activities like vocational training at transmission
