[Paulo] just tipped us about an Excel based high frequency transistor amplifier calculator he made. We’re guessing that some of our readers already are familiar with these class A amplifiers ...

Just over six inches tall, this portable calculator certainly surpassed the all-transistor calculator released just a year earlier -- that calculator weighed 55 pounds and cost $2,500.

If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in the phone system, then they certainly could replace them in computers too. The army, with its need for ever-faster and more efficient calculations ...

Transistor: A transistor is an electronic ... Fischer described this trade-off in terms of a processor's calculation capability. "We can do calculations faster, or we can do more calculations ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).
