What Managers Can Learn From the Microchip Industry

Tuck professor Constance Helfat proposes a new theory of firm integration based on the costs of technological innovation When Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit—now known as a microchip—at Texas Instruments in the late 1950s, he unwittingly launched a multi-trillion-dollar industry that facilitated the information age. Because of the nature of the invention, Gordon Moore, […]

NEW MICROCHIP IMPROVES FUTURE OF SELF-POWERED WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

Energy from your body heat and motion could fuel the future of preventative health care. Researchers at the University of Virginia are developing a low-power microchip that can support on-body, real-time health monitoring. By harvesting all its needed energy from sources like body heat, motion and sunlight, the chip will provide an extremely compact, long-lasting

Packing power into smaller spaces

Packing power into smaller spaces

Researchers create new polymer-based electrical insulation for smaller microchips From slimmer laptops to smaller smartphones, all of our most-used devices rely on increasingly smaller microchips. But, in recent years, researchers have seemingly hit the limit on how far these chips can shrink. One of the biggest hurdles to putting more circuits and power onto a

How to Build a Self Navigating Robot

How to Build a Self Navigating Robot

This is a detailed tutorial on how to realize a robot starting from scratch, and giving it the ability to navigate autonomously in an unknown environment. All the typical arguments involved with robotics will be covered: mechanics , electronics and programming . The whole robot is designed to be made by anyone at home without professional (i.e. expensive) tools and equipment.

8 Bit Serial Digital to Analog 5v Range Converter for Microcontrollers when TTL and Resistors Is All Youve Got

8 Bit Serial Digital to Analog (5v Range) Converter for Microcontrollers (when TTL and Resistors Is All You’ve Got)

So I needed a DAC (digital to analog converter) to use with my pic12F675 , and for those of you who have never heard of this little fella, it’s an 8 pin microcontroller from Microchip that has only 6 I/O pins… This is a very simple circuit that converts Digital data (serial input) to Analog
