Transistors are inevitable parts of Electronic circuits. The success of a circuit design lies in the selection of proper transistor type and calculation of voltage and current flowing through it. A ...

Editor's Note: The following tutorial is one of a series of six on transistor theory by Howard Skolnik, retired Burr-Brown designer. Skolnik and Bob Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology, will be our ...

Analog circuit design using MOS transistors represents a dynamic and rapidly evolving field that is integral to modern electronics. Exploiting the inherent advantages of MOS technology—such as ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 1. In the circuit for the 1 mA two-terminal current source, the leftmost PNP transistor (Q4) is a "bolt-on" to harvest ...

Abstract: This paper surveys the history of the electric-circuit representation of the transistor over the past fifty years. During the first two decades after the transistor was announced in 1948, ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...

Abstract: A simple equivalent circuit is proposed which can form the basis for undergraduate courses in circuit design. The circuit sacrifices a small amount of accuracy in gaining a great deal of ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...

GaN Systems has announced its GS66508T-EVBHB Half-Bridge Evaluation Board which demonstrates the performance of its GaN enhancement mode power semiconductors in real power circuits. The GS66508T-EVBHB ...

The technological payoffs of future transistors that operate at a trillion cycles per second, or terahertz (THz), could include improved surveillance systems for detecting concealed weapons, more ...
