IT is well known that changes in the d.c. characteristics of transistor amplifiers with temperature are particularly severe, and tend to limit the range over which these devices can operate. The d.c.

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put ...

Nexperia claims to have launched the industry’s first 80 V RET (Resistor-Equipped Transistor) family. These RETs or ‘digital transistors’ provide enough headroom for use in 48 V automotive board net ...

Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

Having thought up and simulated a drive circuit for the synchronous rectifier in a Cuk converter, I thought I would wrap it all up by appling the things I learned to the original circuit – a high-side ...
