Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

The impact of on-resistance on MOSFETs. The role of temperature coefficient in comparing different MOSFETs' on-resistance. What type of FET has the lowest conduction losses? There's nothing quite like ...

Transistors come in different flavors. Tubes used an electric field to regulate current flow, and researchers wanted to find something that worked the same way without the drawbacks like vacuum and ...

Each new generation of microprocessors has seen the integration of a larger number of transistors operating at higher clock frequencies with the goal of enabling higher performance in computing and ...

What is a power MOSFET? We all know how to use a diode to implement a switch. But we can only switch with it, not gradually control the signal flow. Furthermore, a diode acts as a switch depending on ...

Infineon Technologies is to develop a two-terminal semiconductor device that acts as a circuit breaker for hundreds of volts and amps: doubling the performance of its mains-voltage super-junction ...

Linear Integrated Systems has general-purpose version of its low-noise LSJ74 p-channel JFET, called LS94. “The LSJ74 is a world-class option for designers seeking to build ultra-low-noise circuits, ...
