[h2]World's Fastest Electronic Circuit by DARPA[/h2]
DARPA Terahertz Electronics program that has been developed by Northrop Grumman has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the fastest Solid-state Amplifier Integrated Circuit. Named as Terahertz Monolithic Integrated Circuit (TMIC), it is a 10-stage common-source amplifier that is capable of delivering one trillion cycles per second, or in other words, one terahertz (1012 Hz).
DARPA speculates that the state of current electronics must be able to tackle speeds of 300 GHz while allowing for wavelengths that are less than a millimeter to be able to cope up with next generation of radar, spectroscopy, imaging and communications technology. The particular property in question is gain – the ability of an electrical circuit to increase the power of a signal (from input to output) and is measured in decibel (dB) units.
TMIC is based on the work done by DARPA's HiFIVE, TFAST and SWIFT programs and can achieve speeds that are 150 billion cycles faster than the last record, which was set in 2012 at 850 GHz. TMIC has power gains that, when it comes to magnitude, are greater by several orders as compared to prevailing circuits and come with a gain of 9 dB at 1 THz and 10 dB at 1.03 THz. A smartphone, if you're looking for comparison, can only tackle 2 GHz.
