The rapid advance in transistor technology into the microwave-frequency region makes this article on microwave transistor trade-offs especially timely. Designers of microwave circuits using ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...

In previous parts of this series we reviewed the basic transistor parameters that determine ac voltage gain and practical considerations limiting high gain. The role of a coupling capacitor was ...

In this short tutorial, we will show you how you can build yourself a transistor-driven color-changing RGB LED lights. The building process is simple and requires only a few transistors, capacitors ...

Digital electronics rely on logic gates to perform operations. While modern integrated circuits (ICs) contain millions or billions of transistors packed into a small chip, understanding the ...

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 ...

If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a regenerative receiver, or maybe a direct conversion design, ...

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 ...
