Researchers produced the first 2-D field-effect transistor (FET) made of a single material. Modern life will be almost unthinkable without transistors. They are the ubiquitous building blocks of all ...

Paul Schimel discusses the nuances of these MOSFET bugaboos and how to mitigate them from the start with solid design practices. Here you can download Part 2 of the series.

The power semiconductor evolution started with germanium and selenium devices that succumbed to silicon types around the 1950s. Broader silicon usage stemmed from its improved physical properties ...

This application note covers the topic of calculating gate driver power and thermal dissipation of the gate drive optocoupler IC. Gate drive optocouplers are used to drive, turning-on and off, power ...

The quest to achieve ever-lower operating voltage and lower power consumption levels in circuit design is a trend that has placed difficult challenges on electrical engineers as they run up against ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have revolutionized the world of electronics due to their remarkable performance and widespread applications. The MOSFET transistor is a ...

We’ve always been interested in fluidic logic and, based on [soiboi’s] videos, he is too. His latest shows how to use silicone and a vacuum to build a multiplexed dot matrix display.

Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO:6502) Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced the launch of a new generation of highly efficient transistor arrays, the TBD62064A series and TBD62308A ...
