PORTLAND, Ore.—Post-silicon era transistors fabricated from sheets of pure carbon—graphene—are pioneering a new paradigm for digital circuitry, but what about analog circuits? Now Rice University ...

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.

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...
