In this article we will discuss about capacitors packaging and we will have a look to the SMD.

An agreement is much better than a battle, especially at a time when the semiconductor industry is fighting to survive.

Last week Intel held an event in New York city where some of the interesting projects being worked on where showed to the attendance.

Making double the SSD (Solid State Disk) capacity every 12 months. This was declared from Jim Elliott, marketing vice president for Samsung memories section, last year when Samsung's 128GB SSD was launched.

Intersil, a world leader in the design and in the manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, has launched its ISL21400.

Atom is the name of a series of processors from Intel, designed both for a 45 nm CMOS process and low power applications.

Why a processor has been called Istanbul? There is a reason, obviously.

The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a new, emerging technology to generate light using organic materials.

In a previous article the resistors basic principles have been described and their classification, according to the use and structure, has been shown.

MIT researchers have discovered that some high temperature superconductors show variations at atomic scale, variations totally unknown in a property named Fermi surface (that is a measurement of the distribution of electrons in a material).

Many people, I would say most of people, do not need high performance computers. Only a few people (like graphic designers) need powerful computers.

War! Maxim is waging war against National Semiconductor! Up to now the National Semiconductor troops (LM48555 and LM4802B) have controlled the territory (the market!), but now Maxim troops (MAX9730 and MAX9788) are ready to launch an attack. But which is the winner award?

Here following we will discuss about the resistors classification according to application and colours code.

You do not need to be a physicist to understand the advantages of SSDs (Solid State Disk) compared to the HDs (Hard Disk): no moving parts (no mechanical parts), much less power consumed, very little heat produced, total silence, extremely competitive read/write data amount and, above all, performances that are improved continuously.

Finally Cuba has own Linux operating system: “Nova“. The Cuban government believes that the U.S. security agencies can access to Microsoft codes and for this reason it wants to move away from Microsoft operating systems.

It is been estimated that a large percentage (about 40 %) of the HDs (Hard Disk) sold on eBay contain private and sensitive pieces of information.

Do you wish (that) you had a microchip faster and using less energy than the running microchip? Here you are.

Have you ever wished for having a twin brother? Well, the Little Island company (it is placed in Japan, near Tokyo) can help you.

The market experts, due to the recession in the United States, foresee a demand reduction for notebooks and desktops.

Since January 2005 about 12.000 notebooks have been lost or stolen in the United States airports (only 33% of them have been recovered by owners), more than 251,154,519 records in the U.S.A. alone have been lost or stolen.

In a previous article the resistors basic principles have been described and their classification, according to the use and structure, has been shown.

The SSDs (Solid State Disks) are, practically, flash memories. They do not have mechanical parts and, as a consequence, compared to HDs (Hard Disks), they are more robust but have lower capacity.

Seagate Technology is seriously in trouble. Its largest hard drive, Barracuda 7200.11, was released only last July, but since the beginning, according some users, it showed some problems.

The Core i7 is the newest processor series of Intel and it includes the Core i7 965, 940 and 920. The Core i7 920, as the other processors 965 and 940, adopts the new Nehalem technology with a cache memory of 8 MB, a bus of about 6 Gbytes/sec, a socket LGA (Lan Grid Array) 1366 and a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 130 W.

In a situation of global crisis even Google is suffering the recession and has decided to eliminate the "withered branches", that is those on line services (networks, web sites etc.) that did not give the wanted results due to or wrong decisions or other reasons.
