IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

How to implement NEC protocol logic on a configurable mixed-signal IC. Discover ways to eliminate external components and reduce coding complexity. Configure up to nine custom commands using the ...

Designing ICs on 0.13-micron and smaller process technologies poses tremendous challenges. The number of silicon failures caused by signal integrity problems is on the rise because existing design ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers are ready to commercialize tiny, gold antennas to help cameras and sensors deliver clearer pictures of thermal infrared radiation for everything from stars and ...

A counterintuitive approach to atomic force microscopy-infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) means researchers can now ‘see’ the structure and chemical composition of human cells with unmatched precision.

The real world may be analog, but the world of advanced semiconductor processing is decidedly digital. As new processes come on-line, foundries focus their initial efforts on digital applications.
