Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics. These include photonic and quantum systems that could advance imaging, ...

It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty ...

Abstract: The increasing interest in cryogenic circuits is driven by their transformative potential across high-performance computing, medical devices, space exploration, and quantum technologies.

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Abstract: This work presents a diagnosis strategy of transistor open-circuit faults for three-phase dual-active bridge DC-DC converters. The diagnostic approach evaluates the DC components of the ...

Building a photodetector that works across a range of applications does not have to be complicated. In this post, we will break down a universal design concept that is flexible, practical, and ready ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating OTA Circuit Design: Transistor Sizing Based on a Transformer Model and Precomputed Lookup Tables” was published by University Minnesota and Cadence. “Device ...

It is made from a sandwich of three layers of semiconductor material: two layers of n-type material, which is a semiconductor doped with elements that provide extra electrons, and one layer of p-type ...
