We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

The invention of the transistor in 1947 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain at Bell Laboratories ushered in the age of microelectronics and revolutionized our lives. First, so-called bipolar transistors ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient organic bipolar transistor. The work opens up new perspectives for organic electronics -- both in data processing and transmission, as well as in medical ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier configurations. This doesn’t come up as often as it used to, but it is still a good ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

Diodes has expanded its series of automotive-compliant bipolar transistors with 12 NPN and PNP devices designed to achieve ultra-low V CE(sat). With a saturation voltage of just 17 mV at 1 A and ...

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technologies have evolved significantly over recent decades to meet the stringent requirements of high-power and high-efficiency applications. Combining the ...

The company’s first bipolar transistors in its miniature PowerDI5 surface-mount package are designed on a fifth-generation matrix emitter process, yielding a range of 12 NPN and PNP transistors with a ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

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 ...
