CircuitMaker is electronic design automation software for printed circuit board designs, for the hobby, hacker, and maker community. [1] [2] CircuitMaker is available as freeware, and the hardware designed with it may be used for commercial and non-commercial purposes without limitations. [3]
French instrument maker Hippolyte Pixii in France developed a prototype DC generator. 1833: Michael Faraday developed the laws of electrolysis. 1833: Michael Faraday invented the thermistor: 1833: English physicist Samuel Hunter Christie invented the Wheatstone bridge (It is named after Charles Wheatstone who popularized it). 1836
The company, in its earliest form as Federal Electric, a lighted sign company, was founded in 1901. It later made home and kitchen appliances, neon signs, police sirens, and circuit-breakers. Everything but circuit-breakers had been spun off or sold off to other companies by the 1940s, and the name was changed to Federal Pacific Electric.
The first planar monolithic integrated circuit (IC) chip was demonstrated in 1960. The idea of integrating electronic circuits into a single device was born when the German physicist and engineer Werner Jacobi developed and patented the first known integrated transistor amplifier in 1949 and the British radio engineer Geoffrey Dummer proposed to integrate a variety of standard electronic ...
The building at 844 East Charleston Road, Palo Alto, California, where the first commercially practical integrated circuit was invented. In 1955, William Shockley founded Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, funded by Beckman Instruments in Mountain View, California; [6] his plan was to develop a new type of "4-layer diode" that would work faster and have more uses than then-current transistors.
TSMC Global R＆D Center at night. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC or Taiwan Semiconductor) [5] [6] is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company.
Multisim includes microcontroller simulation (formerly known as MultiMCU), [3] as well as integrated import and export features to the printed circuit board layout software in the suite, NI Ultiboard. [4] Multisim is widely used in academia and industry for circuits education, electronic schematic design and SPICE simulation. [5]
Printed Circuit Corporation (PCC) was founded in 1961 and was a contract printed circuit board manufacturer located in Woburn, Massachusetts. (SIC Code 3672). [ 2 ] PCC provided its products to companies in the electronics, instrumentation, medical, telecommunications , and automotive industries. [ 3 ]
