Celebrating electronic achievements
Our prints are a premium gift that appeals to engineers and those interested in electronics as a hobby.
Our prints are great gifts for engineers. They highlight some of the industry’s greatest electronic and tech devices of the last seventy years, along with the engineers and teams who designed them. We take great care in designing an appealing print with well-researched text and example circuits that thrill the technically minded.
Bringing out details
Our prints cover devices such as the Signetics NE555. The prints are complimented with example circuits or block diagrams, showing how the chip is used.
Real devices
Some prints include real integrated circuits, silicon die, or other parts relevant to the topic’s history.
History and Background
Details on the engineers who designed the device and its history are also provided. There is also background on how the integrated circuit is used, including code examples or useful equations as appropriate.
Gifts for engineers
These limited print-run posters are the result of the creative hand of Armand Molders together with the engineering background of Stuart Cording. Through this partnership, the heritage of the electronics industry is captured in a format that appeals to engineers, technicians, and hobbyists alike. Retro Electro Prints make a great addition to the home office, lab, or office wall.
Signetics NE555
The first of our gifts for engineers is the Signetics NE555 Retro Electro Print. Developed in conjunction with the publisher Elektor, it covers the history and background of this 1970s timer integrated circuit. The print includes a block diagram of the device along with the equation needed to configure it in monostable mode. Providing the finishing touch is a real NE555 IC in a SOIC package attached to the bottom of the print. The print-run is limited to 0xFF (255) posters and each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
