Solid-state device technologies, which are available to the amplifier designer, fall, broadly, into three categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and junction diodes; junction field effect ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

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 ...

A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An illustration ...

The basic rules by which chips are being designed could be wrong, physicists have warned. Researchers at the US National Institute of Science and Technology have warned that a flaw exists in ...
