Maxim Integrated Products has introduced low-power (less than 1.2microamps), microprocessor supervisory circuits that feature precision power-supply monitoring and battery-control functions.

The MAX6412–MAX6420 low-power microprocessor supervisor circuits monitor system voltages from 1.6V to 5V. These devices are designed to assert a reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage or RESET ...

Many microprocessor-based products require a manual-reset capability that allows the user, test technician, or external circuitry to reboot the system without a full power-down/power-up cycle. To ...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX16072-MAX16074 microprocessor supervisory circuits in a 1mm x 1mm chip-scale package Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX16072-MAX16074 ...

In 1958 the integrated circuit was developed by a young engineer at Texas Instruments named Jack St. Clair Kilby. He put together a few transistors and capacitors, linking them with a thin layer of ...

Microprocessor testing and self-test techniques constitute a critical domain in ensuring the reliability and performance of modern computing devices. These methodologies encompass both hardware and ...

DNA may contain the building blocks of life, but IBM believes it can also provide the foundation for cheaper construction of the next generation of superfast, energy-efficient microprocessors.

Graphene could become the next big thing in the quest for smaller, less power-hungry electronics. Physicists are making discoveries that may advance electronic circuit technology. Graphene could ...

Engineers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) have developed a microprocessor called AJIT, the first to be conceptualised, designed, developed and manufactured in India. The ...
